I've been bitten by some small burms (6-7ft.) and it really hurt. They have some big a$$ teeth. The glove thing works well when 'taming' snakes. I used a glove when I was getting my female Amazon Tree Boa used to being handled and it worked like a charm. But most small snake bites don't hurt. They startel people more than anything. Keep a spray bottle of vinigar near by. That way if they bit and hold on give them a spray in the mouth and not only will they let go, chances are they'll never go at another person again. They hate vinigar. Any alcohol works too. I'm not sure about this with a small snake though.
