Thanks for your thoughtful reply. This guy has always been so docile and predictable but it goes to show that one needs to maintain caution when handling snakes. I've been tagged by my smaller boas and pythons and it was no big deal. But this is a creepy looking wound complete with puncture marks and bruises. I'll probably wear more protective clothing next time I handle him to regain my confidence. Thanks again.
