I'm am now a member of the bite club, yay!

I clearly got a bit too complacent when putting my hands into the corns rubs. I startled Fawkes while changing he water early and he got me, tagged me good too, even drew blood! Not bad for a 2.5ft corn.

Have to say it didn't hurt, but I felt it more than I expected too, I really felt how sharp his little teeth were!

My wound....



I didn't bother rushing to a&e, I think I will be ok

Woke up this morning and my thumb is still on my hand where it should be.

Seems I have been very lucky indeed! :p

keep an eye on it - one minute you will have a healthy thumb and then next it will be black and your whole hand will need chopping off lol
only Little one has tagged me and left a mark - apparently getting fresh water at 4.30am is too early for some snakes lol!

It took me 14 months to get tagged. The only time it's happened is when I was checking Connie out when she first arrived. I was looking at her tail as it looks like she has had some retained shed issues before. I felt a small needle-***** on my wrist and there she was with her mouth clamped onto my wrist. She sure was thinking big. Didn't look as impressive as yours tho lou

took me years before i got tagged (by one of my boas too!) and it's only happened the once!

I know! I showed Marv just now and told him he better bite me soon and make sure it's deeper and bleeds more.

He has a rep to protect after all!

Well done on your graduation!

Still waiting for mine, but I'm sure the day will come...

The odds were stacking against you with every new snake. Least you got it out of the way. I'm still bite free with my 3 (only just, Duke is a monster) but have been bitten before, it isn't totally painless but its so fast and by the time you feel it, its over. Well done for surviving.

Hmmm, I know what you mean. I'm gonna keep an eye on it. I don't want my hand falling off :(

I'm not so sure.....

Looks like it could be infected

Fawkes told you of for giving him a fright but I think you will live lol
Mamma Posted - 07/05/2011 : 12:55:03
