I have a trio of large FWC over 7'. All of the above info in good. I free hand mine and yes I got hit. The bite was not that bad more like that of a hornet and I did get a little dizzy. I have been handling hots for well over 20 yrs and I have gotten my share of nasty bites. I classify the FWC as a non-lethal bite and not to worry about BUT THAT IS ONLY MY OPINION.



If you do choose to get one please follow the advice of getting a baby and until you get to know the snake use hooks and treat them with respect.
