Feeding disaster

It was feeding day. I usually wear latex gloves when i handle the mice, but today, out of laziness... I used my bare hands. And this, my friends, is the horrendous result of not taking proper precautions when handling a dangerous reptile. :grin01:

He was actually working on swallowing the tip of my finger when i took this pic. Quite an experience actually... now I know what a pinky mouse would feel when it gets constricted by a hatchling corn snake.
 
He likes pinky's

Hope you weren't severely injured during this photo shoot! :rolleyes:
Guess you'll be keeping him away from the finger foods over the holidays! :cheers:
 
Oh, thats cute.

I want to bitten by something, it makes me feel a bit left our, I havent got any scars or teethmarks on my hands. (And if I get bitten by something very big, I might just get off sport!!!:D)

I love small snakes trying to be tough.
 
I had two mouse-smelling hands bites in a week last week! I guess I'm a slow learner. After the first, Inez, the 10 gram terror, I was _so_ careful to wash before getting her out to feed. Then, I had to rewarm Zee's mouse, and he chowed down on my palm! He'd have hung in there long enough for a picture, too. Inez was so funny- she just FLEW into her deli cup to eat after she bit me- she was _so_ ravenous.

Great pic! I hope you're not scarred for life.

Did you pour water on it to (or at least try and) get it off? :)

Haha that was the first thing I did!!! You can still see the water droplets on my hand from when I tried to get him off with water, but the little guy held on tight(luckiliy for me, 'cause I got the chance to take this picture). And literally right after I took the picture, he decided to let go by himself.

So I guess the pour water over snake head trick doesn't work every time... :shrugs:
 
cute lol

i have a king that does it, water never worked lol i just blow air in her face till she lets go.
