Bites

[mant01]

Does anyone have funny bite stories or even nasty ones. The worst one I had was when I made a mistake feeding a 13ft plus burmese and it managed to dart at me across a room enclosure and struck grabbing me by my right wrist and then went into constrict mode. The teeth ripped my wrist to bits and I though because of the blood that she had cut my vein. I always deal with the large snakes with someone and with my left hand and my girlfriends help we managed to unlock her mouth stop her body from wrapping and then try and stop the blood until I could get to a hospital. Nasty and very painful and still have the scars but It was my fault not hers and learned room enclosures are way too much hassle
