Last night i joined the few who have been bitten by thier snake.
Hercules had just eaten his mouse and is usually very docile afterwords and is easy to pick up and move back to his viv, Not last night. He must have still been hungry and as i went to pick him up WHAM-O! he tagged me on the thumb the little bugger then tried to get me a few more times as i moved him back, luckily i got away with only the one bite.
I know you like to see pictures of wounds so i took a pic

Oh Jon  ....how traumatic for you! I am surprised you didnt rush to hospital to have it stitched immediately  !!! Hope your tetanus jabs are upto date.
Not sure whether to say well done or not....it seems that once you have been tagged you become a 'real snake keeper', but if that is so then I am quite happy staying an 'unreal' one  !!

If one must be bitten to be a 'real snake keeper' I'd rather remain a tourist.[quote]Originally posted by Kellog
