There were 2 different ones that bit me. There was one where I was 5 and me and my friend chased after it thinking it was a water snake. The second one I bought at a reptile show as a copperhead knowing it was venomous. We never caught the first one, it bit me and we left it alone. Thank god it was only a warning strike.

And to answer your question. You have to hold the snake to milk it. I had a lot of handling equipment right by my side, how do you think I pinned his head down?
