That will wake you up quick!
I was caring for a friends large male BP for the weekend, I wasn't experienced with snakes too much. At the time I had Bearded Dragons, and Corns. I went to check on my visitor, slid the box out from the rack real slow and he came flying out at my face. I fell back and used my foot to close the drawer. Scared the crap out of me. Called my friend and told him about his pyscho snake. He said he must be hungry, defrost a rat for him. After defrosting the rat I grabed one of my dads leather work gloves and put it on just in case. I planned on droping the rat as soon as I got the drawer open. As soon as the drawer was open 3"-4", the rat flew out of the cage again grabbed the rat and the glove. (which was still on my hand only for another 1/10 of a second.) It scared me to death, it took me about 5 minutes to get the glove away from him. Thank goodness the glove was my dad's and came off really easy or the snake would have had the rat, glove and my hand.
