Ok I don't know if we have a thread where you post up your pics of when you got bit by your scaly friend but I'm starting one.. Only because I got bit this morning lol

Now for those who haven't gotten bit before as I get bit by these snakes I'll tell you how it feel what to look for and how to get the snake released from the certain body parts they have clamped down on..

My female Albino Gopher tagged this morning... Guess I cought her on a PMS day I don't know... I fed her a sm rat yesterday noticed this morning she took a huge BM and decided to clean the cage when I reached in to get her she struck and got my ring finger on the left hand.. (It's always on my left hand ring finger lol)

Ok what it felt like: The gophers teeth are 2 rows of curved teeth going back towards the throat.. When she latched on I felt every one of those curved teeth go in.. Then she pulled my hand so she could curl around my wrist to start eating my hand with this pulling came a very hurting and pressurized stinging pain.. I then grabbed her by the back of the neck and she disengaged her teeth and I let her go back in her tank after I cleaned it lol.. Also 2-3 days after I get bite I always get little tiny blisters where the bite site is.. Don't really know why.. Also the big red area on my finger is what one of the teeth riped the top layer of skin aways when she disengaged her teeth..

I'll give her a few days to calm down before holding her again.. So I don't stress her... She's a very calm snake one of the calmest rescues I gotten in.. Just I guess I cought her on her PMS day..

Now for the pics.. I was bleeding and wanted to take pics but my husband told me I needed to clean the bite site up first and then take the pics so here they are.. (Not the best pics as were still use a crappy cam because ours is still being used by another friend of ours lol..)

This is the female Albino Gopher:



This is the bite she left me with lol:
