: ...Just received the worst bite from a colubrid in my many years of wrking with snakes. My female yellow-tail (wild caught about 2 mos ago). I was just reaching in to grab her hide box to see if she had eaten...and WHAM !!! Blood everywhere! She hit and pulled back, creating a nice, clean, razor-like laceration on my index finger. ow.

: Deep. I've had bites from large boids that didn't bleed like this!!

: fun fun fun. I LOVE these guys!!

Dean,
OOOOOO...man, I can relate. Back in '94 my female Eastern grabbed hold of me. I was hand-feeding her ,so it was my own damn fault. Talk about making a grown man cry!! I had never sustained a bite like that up until that time, and have never since. It was like my finger was in a vice with razor-blade edges, and that's exactly what it looked like when she realized she made a mistake and let go. I could almost see the"It serves you right!!" expression on her face!
Hope your OK, and she should give you a nice fertile clutch someday just for that, right? Take care, Mike C
