That's exactly what happens to me, but since I seem to be more sensitive to it, about 5 minutes after the bite I get really bad pain in the area and my whole hand turns red-ish purple and swells really big. I got bit by Snakey for the first time a month after I got him. He wouldn't let go and I had to run cold water over him for a while to get him to let go. I didn't have a food smell or any food around him, but he was really calm so I'm assuming he was just so hungry that he decided to munch on my palm. Still got a scar from that. Even bites from the babies get pretty bad, but its a lot less pain and swelling.
