I had some friends over the other day showing them my snakes when I just must've caught this girl in a bad mood. lol. She was clamped down so tight I couldn't get her off. I just sat there, and talked to my friends for a while, and about 20 minutes later she released, and was fine, and I put her back up.

Is that an albino Cal King?

How old is it?
In my 45 years I've never been bitten... what did
the "bite" feel like?

Yes,it's a cal king. She's about 2 1/2 ft. If you screw with snakes long enough you will get bit at some point, but 99.9999% of the time it is your fault. With the colubrids it really doesn't hurt, but I've had a 10ft albino burm clamp down on my hand before, and that really sucked.

Bloods do have a really nasty bite, Jason. I held a baby one in a pet store three different times, and it didn't bite so I bought it. The second I got him home, and went to pull him out of the box he tagged me twice in about half a second. It felt like about a 4 ft boa bite. They really pack a punch. Makes you laugh at Thayeri bites even though those are few, and far between.
