So one of my cal-kings has been trying to eat my hands lately. Thought you guys might enjoy this. This is after two solid minutes of pulling as hard as he could. I can't believe people are afraid of these things; I've had paper cuts worse.

Lol, yeah it looks worse than it is. Pulling actually causes the teeth to dig in more. I slap them gently on the head till they release, but honestly it's been years since I've been bit by any of my kings. I have had a few close calls when they bolt for the food and miss, lol.

Yeah, and I didn't pull at all. He did all the pulling, so hard he was shaking.

Ah I see, lol. I misread your statement. I had a very large Florida King latch down on my thumb a few years ago, and I thought I would scare my wife with it. I ran out of the snake room yelling, and showing off the snake on my thumb like a bear trap. It was worth a good laugh till blood started running down my arm and elbow! I began to panic as he just crunched down harder with every attempt to get him off. I began to envision possibly even having to need stitches, from such a long time with this beast lacerating my poor appendage! I finally got the Ideah to dunk my hand in a bucket of cold water, and after what seemed like an eternity, the monster let go. After surveying the damage, left by the "Great White" of the snake world, I had to squeeze my hand to force the blood, thru the tiny little pin points, just to see where the thing had even bitten me! Ha ha, I felt like a dork! It had really given me a good scare, as well as my wife. It was amazing at how little damage he actually inflicted!

Try it with a retic I went through about 1/2 a rollof paper towels when one bit me a month or so back. The bite marks are *finally* not visible unless you know what you're looking for...blood blood blood all over.

Yeah I know! That's why I got rid of my Retic named "Satan"! He tagged me on the hand, and it felt like getting hit with a board with nails, lol. No spank you! I'll stick to the Colubrids! I don't want an animal, or a woman, that can kick my ass, lol!
