I've only ever had one painful bite from a snake (I don't count the odd nip or headbutt from a colubrid) and that was from one of my male royals, Shahi. I did the same as Chris and got to the tap fast with him -

In this instance the bite was all my fault, he is a big gentle lump and he honestly thought that he was being a good lad and grabbing his rat. Imo feeding response is the commonest cause of a bite from a royal. And yeah, had to take pics lol. |

Ooo never thought of that! Though there was enough gore with my Shahi-bite.
In fact though, they actually do very little damage - I'm assuming that their teeth are so sharp, a lot of capillaries get ruptured, hence all the gore, but really you get left with just a couple of scratches.
In truth I've had far more painful cat bites (used to have a feral staying with me who'd bite me if I looked at him wrong and Molly the new cat is a bit bitey but she's growing out of that.) |

Usually it's a case of 'blink and you've missed it' - I've been nipped a few times by corns and my gopher and you sort of do a double take and then think - oooo I got BIT! Try pinching yourself quickly with sharp fingernails and that's the pain level - nothing. Often all you feel is a velcro-like brush of teeth.
With Shahi there was no time to think - just rushed into the bathroom, apologising to him profusely after the initial bad language lol. It was a case of going 'ow!' and then acting, and it didn't hurt after I'd got him to let go.
But honestly a royal is a snake least likely to bite you. |

| I was struck and bit by a Kingsnake, it was like getting a static electricity shock off of a plastic chair, and she was about 4 feet long, too. It bled quite a bit, but barely left any marks. |

| On snake bytes, Brian said to use Listerine mouth wash as it's safe and the snake releases instantly |

| I've been savages by a house snake, lol. I didn't even notice if I hadn't have seen it happen. Hal is only 9 grams though. Duke has almost got me once and Sanke has almost got me loads of times. Bites are rare though but inevitable when surrounded by snakes. Even my squishy gecko has bit me, that was funny. |

| You might have to if both hands are manacled so you can't use them to operate spray or open gel bottle; I had to turn the tap on with my elbow. |
