First Bite

Hi Guys

cross posted this in general also. Wasnt sure where to put it but wanted to go somewhere. If needs to be deleted then thats cool

My girl is about 5 ft bredli. Ive had her since she was about 12inches long. I obviously received strikes from here back then but have never had a decent strike since she was about 3 mths old or so. She has been a regular handler and has always been great. Handling has dropped off a little over the past 6mths as we have had another baby enter our home. Our little daughter.

I kind of knew my bredli was close to a next feed but thought ill get her out and onto the grass for some afternoon sun. I tap her head gently with my snake hook as i do everytime i get her out. I put my hand under the perch she is on and feel her head nudging my finger. Then bam she takes a bit. I pull my hand away from the branch a littlle to give myself some room and with my other hand holder body from coiling round my arm. Calling my wife in i first get her to spray some water into her mouth. No luck. The i tell her to get a syringe of my best scotch (grr). She quickly let go after this. Pulling her head away and her teeth out. With some resistance mind you. I am a little shaking more because of the shock of my first bite. I always knew i should get bitten sometime. but it had never happened. Always make sure she is well fed when handling from now on ha ha

Is there anything i should do for her after trying to get her drunk or all is good ???

cheers
chris
