My broad banded water snake is a bit of a brat, so every once in a while he'll nick me during feeding. And even though he's only ever bit me on places where I have thick skin and don't bleed a lot generally, i.e. the tip of my finger and my finger joints, I bleed quite a bit more when I've been bitten versus when I've just scratched my hand on something. Also, after putting pressure on my finger this last time, I noticed that even when I had applied pressure, I kept bleeding.

It's pretty harmless though. Their teeth can't do that much damage at all, even if they do sting like hell. That, and the bleeding only continues for a short time, and it's pretty minor.
