Not a bit, the hardest part for some people is keeping your hand still, pulling away hurts both you and the snake more than necessary. You learn to keep still with practice though.

Would that equate to a piercing shreek of horror.. Or .. do you need to break down in tears to qualify.. ?

It can sting a bit - maybe I have a really low threshold for pain, but papercuts (which is what a cornsnake bite is like a lot of) sting quite a lot!
Now, bigger snakes - like rainbow boas - with bigger teeth and more striking power, and particularly FEEDING bites as opposed to defensive strikes - those do hurt. And bruise.

Agreed. I had a feeding response bite from a mexican black king, and it darned well hurt! And bruised.
You should look a taiwanese beauty snake feeding response.
I had a 11 foot female now that KILLS.

No they don't hurt, it's more of a scratch than a bite!

See I've been had by adult corns and a GTP and I though the corn snakes hurt more - didn't actually realise the GTP had broken skin til I rolled up my sleeve a bit later and realised there was a serious amount of blood on it!
But even the corn bites don't hurt as much as [insert mammal of choice here] bites, and believe me I am well qualified to do the comparison!
