It is just a part of the game. If you just accept that it is going to happen, it is much less of a shock when it actually does.

Bingo. Couldn't have said it better myself.

My sentiments exactly. Catching them in the wild (and housing w/c's) makes it a near certainty. Breeding (and handling clutches of hatchlings) makes it as certain as death and taxes.

Breeders: what is the longest you think you've ever gone without a bite?

Corn snake bite? The amount of times my amel chewed on my finger's when i got him and i didn't realize he was doing it.

I've been bitten several times by my one hatchling. She is VERY cranky!! I think she's in permanent PMS.

My babies always bite...but hey, when you are that size, it is natural to think everything is going to eat you!

Only been bit by one of my older ones once and she realized in a hurry that I wasn't lunch...case of mistaken identity I think...

iv been bitten by a hatchling corn and a 30" ball python. THe python bite stung a little bit and drew blood but still was no big deal. THe python bite happened durring feeding so i started wearing gloves when taking my snake out of the cage and out of the tub to feed.

I've been bitten only once, I used to like feeding my snow in my hand... I don't anymore, LOL!

Their bark is worse than their bite but I have heard of someone getting bit and getting an infection sounds like a pretty off chance though.

Funny I'd get a notice of this thread while holding a cloth over a snake bite tonight! As for infection, I'd suggest that the infection would likely occur after the bite. In other words, as unlikely as such a tiny injury getting infected would be anyway; chance of infection wouldn't decrease too much if it were to occur from a clean kitchen knife. I swear I get more irritation from a cat scratch or gardening.

UPDATE!

I got bit twice...thats right twice...the other night by one of my redtails. She is only about 3.5 feet long but DAMN did that hurt!
