Hey all,

So, I had just finished feeding my female smooth scale and went to grab her out of her feeding box. As soon as I grabbed her, she grabbed me back...lol. It was obviously a feeding response bite so I can only blame myself for the bite.

I have been bitten by a lot of snakes over the years (Biologist by trade) but I was very surprised by how much this bite hurt. So I decided to take a couple documentation shots.

Culprit just after bite- F3 sunset E. johnii



bite-







Hope you enjoyed,

-Chris
