This happened while assisting a 500 g IJ through a shed. I was standing slowly helping him work off the shed with his head off to my right side. He was just kind of chilling until about the 15 min mark when he decided he had had enough I guess. The bite itself was 100% unexpected, didn't hurt much, and didn't bleed much. But, it left some awesome marks!!! Hands down my favorite bite so far. And the marks are almost perfect. Made me almost want to ink them

I got that Idea myself from Wild Boyz. I have a bottle of black ink here in case I get one of these perfect ones.

damn! that looks cool but i dont believe you when you say it didnt hurt. I have been bitten by several colubrids and ball pythons and even a small burm. I saw my friend get bitten by scarface (JCP) before i acquired em and it really looked like it hurt. The snake wouldnt let go either. Kinda funny (from my perspective). I know the teeth on these guys are way larger then what im used to so I guess im just gonna have to wait until i eventually get clapped by em to have any real input here. anyways cool pic

Oh, carpet bites for sure can hurt. I have had some pretty bad feeding bites from carpets when I didn't have my hand far enough away and they missed real bad. Lots of pain, lots of blood. I felt those for a few days! That was why this one was "almost perfect." Got the cool marks, but almost no pain. It honestly just felt like a person lightly pinched me under the arm.
