The recovery is going well, I'm doing a bit of typing as it is helping the swelling in my hand decrease.

Aaron,

The bite happened around 11:15am on Saturday. I think you need to do a bit more research on the incident with the loose Collett Snake fang, as I wasn't envenomated and the entire process was simply following protocol of the facility I was working at. I wouldn't consider that a bite, considering the fang wasn't attached to the snake.

I think you will find that by me saying "it was 100% avoidable and 100% my fault" concludes that there is no if's or but's about the reason it happened. I was simply stating that the three factors that contribute to the safe handling of captive snakes were compromised. I fail to see any reason that someone would need to handle a captive elapid in the bush, so your juxtaposition is null and void.
