I was just wondering how many people have experienced a corn bite and what would you say it felt like?
people seem to be scared of the corn bite?!

I've been bitten once, on the side of my index.
Can't remember exactly what is felt like now, just like a very quick, but incredibly sharp sting, leaving about 6 small puncture holes.
I think it's the shock more than anything.

I've never been tagged and I'm a bit disappointed really.

It's still the first question everyone asks you when they find out you've got snakes isn't it?

I've had a nasty bite off a hamster once though and their teeth are massive and blunt. Surely little sharp corn teeth can't be as bad as that

Iv not, but then iv only had her for 1 week and a half hehe, kinda would like too though if you get me just so's I know what it feels like,

Iv heard it's the strike you feel more and the bite is like velcro on your skin.

I got bit yesterday was my own fault, i had just been holding him and put him back and about 5 mins later i went back to re-arrange his water bowl and he was hiding under this log next to it and as i was flicking around the wood chip he just struck out at me and caught my finger, I laughed it didnt hurt at all (cause I am well hard!) I didnt even see him there... I held him this morning and he is cool...

Dont hesitate I have read they can get used to striking if it keeps you away. so you have to show them who`s boss

i got bite by a huge 813grm garvid female a few weeks ago all my own fualt i went to feed her and drop the mouse of the tongs and without thinking about it went to pick it back up with my hand (not my brightest moment) she grabed and coiled my hand i had to get her out to remove her as she wasnt letting go. it was the worse bite ive ever had from a corn (and it wasnt that bad) just a few pin holes that stoped bleeding pretty quick. it hurt at the time cus it took about a minute or two to get her of (she didnt want to give up her mouse) she was fine but was missing three teeth that she kindly left in my hand as a reminder not to be so stupid next time

I was bitten by an adder on the ass when conkering as a kid - Hurt like mad and swelled a bit. Never been bitten by any of my lot though.

I got bit by a white tail spider in Oz, but none of my snakes have come close. Nagini tries bless her, but I'm too fast (like a Ninja)
