I've said my piece and was going to step away from this thread, and still plan to do so, but now have one thing to add. You can honestly say that everything that was posted in the original post could happen to anyone? Yeah, someone can get tagged at anytime, but the reaction to said bite, the situation that brought about the bite, the pet store...I don't see any one of those things just happening to anyone. I never meant to imply that I can always prevent a bite with my snakes. I know which ones will strike, which ones won't, and I know when not to bug a snake any more than necessary.
Hopefully all those things will just be newbie mistakes that will be rectified in the future. I understand that the OP is going to keep her snake no matter what is posted on here, and that's her right. I'm hoping that the whole bite, rubbermaid, petstore, incidents are just a rough but very valuable lesson.
Reticgirl, I genuinely hope that your new retic becomes a calm, and tractable pet. Snakes will bite, but at some point you learn that a bite, while startling, is generally more of an annoyance than anything else. I wish you and the snake the best of luck.
