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

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

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??

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.

Phil you really know how to put someone at ease don't you?? lol

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.....
