My son (11) was handling the corn (2 y/o, 36") Steve-the-snake (we did NOT name him) we'd adopted 6 days prior to "the bite." My son said it felt a bit like a cat-bite. Here's my question: How to you stop the snake from biting, once it's teeth are in. Do you let it realize "oh, this isn't food" and let it release, or...? When Steve bit my son, I, instinctively (I guess) tried to pull the snake off. In hindsight I see my son would've been (and is) fine, but I could have really hurt Steve. Suggestions completely welcome! I am new to snakes, but am really interested in them. Thanks, Alexandra
