Bitten?
 
Have you ever been bitten by a cornsnake?

I usually get bitten once a week during feeding time.

Jimmy Johnson 03-26-2005 01:44 PM

quite a few times
 
especially by hatchlings. They tend to be a lot more defensive.
I was also bitten a couple of times while probing a few of my snakes the other night.
My yellow rat drew blood when he bit me on the arm.
After he found out it wouldn't make me let him go he didn't bite again but he did musk.. nasty....lol

I voted for option #1.
Been doing this for a while.

Nope ^_^ Mine went to strike once, but didn't open her mouth. It was her snout hitting my hand then both of us pausing and going :eek:

Sherry, it's not a big deal. It's nothing like being bit by a mammal.

Depending on how bad they get you, it either like the rough side of velcro or like tiny pin pricks.

Yeah, really is no big deal.
The thought of it is way worse than an actual bite.
Will make you crazy if you let it. :crazy02:

I haven't yet been bitten by my cornsnake. I have been bitten many times by other wild snakes, mostly water snakes...I'm not really surprised tho...I guess that's what I get chasing them around and catching them :rolleyes:

That's the truth. The whole act of striking/hissing/rattling is much worse than the actual bite.
