Got Tagged for the first time

BRB_Russ Jan 13, 2007 05:56 PM

but not by my BRB!

I've never been bitten by a snake before today but i was at the pet store talking to the manager of the reptile department about redtails. I was looking to get a Salmon Boa were as he was favoring the traditional look of a Guyana redtail. So he had a Wild Caught Guyana redtail that was about 4' longish and we were talkinga bout how sometimes the wild caughts can be better for breeding etc etc and that a lot of times you can tame them up with some work.

then he goes "ok well ill take one for the team, ill prolly get bit through" and takes it out, it was a beutifull guyana that was VERY pink. So he goes "here hold it i have to make a phone call" So he starts to give it to me and i get tagged right on the arm. Bleed like a stuffed pig (im a pretty thin skinned guy) So we put her back.

My first time getting bit by a snake and it wasnt that bad at all, i had some teeth stuck in me though.

thought i would share
