No pics, but I got nailed by a yearling smooth green snake today.

Tiny yet spirited snake.

Never had a green snake bite me...

Neither have I but this little one was freaking out over me picking it up.

Only about 7 inches long tops, chewed on the skin between my thumb and pointer finger for a little while.

Was he wild, or do you breed/keep them?

Wild.

Found basking on the MX track.

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.
