I put my girl down in the snakeroom to wonder while I cleaned her cage, and when i wasn't watching she managed to get half way under a closet door, then got stuck. I bent down towards her to help her out, and i got my first bite ever! Her mouth nearly made it around my whole arm. Enjoy! ..?

That looks like it hurt and it probably bled pretty badly too. You need some ink to rub in it that way you will always have her "mark" on you.

I was just talking about that yesterday with a buddy. We all hate getting bit and hope it doesn't happen but if it does, 90% of the time it happens so fast it doesn't hurt. Unless the animal locks onto your hand and coils up your whole arm and won't let go for about 4-5 minutes. This happened to me with an 8ft albino burm. It was quite the experience. In the long run, I think I personally am more intimadated by the speed of the strike rather then tha actually bite but thats just me.

Well a Burm will make you bleed quite a bit. My first bite was a Retic about 13' and MAN I was bleeding like crazy.

Ouch! The girl who bit me was also 9 ft (though not a burm) I dont know if i would have been strong enough to pry her off if she did decide to wrap around me. That must have been an experience!
