Hooray! I can finally join the snake bite club! I was cleaning cages this morning when my female anery got a sniff of the backside of my fingers and nabbed me. She wrapped all the way around me and even gave me a good squeeze. Surprisingly she just hung on there and tried to eat me for a little bit! But i will say, its true! It doenst really hurt, even when they are on there really tight! I would say washing the cut hurt more than the actual bite!
I felt bad for her because she did loose a few teeth ): I didnt try to pull away or anything but her head was stuck under one of her coils and it was a really wide bite, so as she wriggled out they kinda just popped out! They grow back (right?)?!? So im leaving her a lone for a little bit and it honestly makes me a little curious. Aside from being hungry what could have set her off? Was it the hair backside of my nuckles :P lol I could see someone mistaking that for a fuzzy. hah
Its the first time shes done this and i couldnt actually see her being hungry? But i suppose she could have mistaken me for food. It wasnt an aggressive strike it was def a food strike, it included the coil and the stalk for a moment.
any who! Enjoy!
I was pretty proud and now im showing it off!
