worst bite ive had was from Little One the day after i got him, i surprised him changing the water first thing in the morning and came away with 4 little puncture marks about an inch n a half apart..
didnt hurt but was more surprised at how fast he was more than anything!

Most corns don't bite, those that do will usually just kinda headbut you with their teeth out and it'll make you jump but it's not painfill. Every now and again a really stupid snake(with a stupid owner who has mousey smells on her hands) will have a proper go and yes it hurts.

It's not gonna kill you but will make you curse, pour cold water over their head of they don't let go, clean any wounds and post a pic so we can all have a laugh....like this.....

If a fully grown corn got hold of your finger, then I'd advise saying goodbye to your finger. To make it easier, alway keep a sharp pair of secateurs handy.

*above sentance may contain lies*

A spray with some cold water should make it let go, although normally they'll only hold on really tight if they're in a feeding grip.

Havent been bitten yet but was told a bit of advise that if your corn does bite you and holds on instead of letting go immediately....you must not try and pull it off you no matter how shocked you are. It has been suggested that the best way to get a corn to let go is to sprinkle cold water on it. Not sure if anyone else has any hints??

He will most likely draw blood, but the shock will be worse than the pain, be like a small tiny pin prick

*=forum bleeps the expression i'm trying to say. nothing naughty dont worry. ;p

They have tiny sharp teeth, if he bites you, it wont be that bad.
