you're right, she is scared, not angry. I should have been more sensitive. And I am scared of doing exactly what you said! But not for the same reason. She's bitten me, and I don't feel it. But I'm more afraid of that instinctual 'pull away' reaction. I don't know why I do it, I know a bite wont hurt, and I have large parrots, that have dislocated digits in anger at me, so a tiny corn snake bite is nothing. But I still yank my hand away reflexivly before I realize what I'm doing. I know thats the worst thing I can do, because then I'll just either fling her like you did, or pull out all her teeth. Funny how my brain just doesn't get the 'don't pull your hand away moron' command to my arm fast enough. Hopefully I master this before I give her brain damage or something.
