Heya guys I was just wondering whats the closest you guys have been to getting tagged by one of your DWA Snakes?

[Richcymru]

very nearly got bitten by a night adder once

The closest I have ever come to being bitten was a rattler striking at me and missing by about 3ft. I am very careful with all my venomous snakes.

I'd imagine most people are very carefull with their venemous, I know I would be, I was just interested to find out. I mean with good handling procedure and know how most venemous keepers can go their whole lifes without being bitten. But has anyone got a story where something that they didnt expect happen and it put them into strike range etc? Thought it would be an interested thread.

those sort of posts tend to attract the wrong sort of attention from the Neanderthal portion of the membership unfortunately. You know the sort, keep a couple of Royals or whathaveyou, but are suddenly armchair experts on venomous snakes with an opinion for every occasion

I don't own any DWA's but did come very close to gettin bit by 4 King Cobra's while I was out in India 2007, we had just been to Agra to the Taj Mahal and were abouts to get back in the car. Ther was a guy sittin next to the car with what looked like a 10-12ft burm. As a few of the guys I was with were a little bit afraid of a snake that big I said that I would get in that side of the car. As I was about to get in, the guy lifted the lid on a large basket on the floor which I though is what he was keepin the burm in. How wrong could I have been, cos 4 King Cobra's decided to hood up and strike at the nearest moving thing... ME!!! I managed to use my cat like reactions to jump backwards to see one of the Cobras come within about 6 inches of taggin me!! Did amuse the other guys who were with me but it was a little bit too close for comfort for my liking!!
