here's my guess as to why I'm still here, just a guess.

the hemostats were 18 inch curved at the end, my had I thought was shielded at the bottom corner of the cage there is a 2inch lip on the front of the cage top, bottom and sides. I think she hit the handle of the hemostats (the round ring that my finger was threw) venom must of secreted (squirted) out at that point and the fang bounce off and slightly slashed the skin.

There was immediately a lot of a lot of blood for a tiny wound!? when I sucked the the bite site there was a strange taste, I spit out a fare amount of blood as well, it continued to bleed for about 20 minutes no bruising or pane at all, so there was defiantly venom, I know I tasted it, but maybe only on the surface of my finger.

see thread on Clark's forum
