Snake Bites

You don't fool us Steve. But your secret is safe here.

Btw, how long do they tend to bite for before they decide they can't swallow your fingers? It must vary, but I get the impression that they chow down for a while.

I've had snakes just nip me, (like the water snake I posted) and others, like black racers (ouch) and my checkered hang on for quite some time... racers chew like heck.

if they're hanging on for a long time you can put a drop of vinigar on your hand so it drips into the snakes mouth, that usually gets them to let go.
