Lol, er well I think that person may have been overexaggerating a bit, but im sure an adult coastal could deliver a pretty painful tag nonetheless

its nothing to worry about. its like a couple of pin pricks. my 4 yr old carpet got me once, but it was all over and done with before i realised what had happened. i think its the shock and fright thats the worst.

my boy is about 7'6" and tagged me a couple of months ago. Except for the initial shock, the pain really didn't rate a mention. Their teeth are so fine and they all hook in at the same time you don't really feel the puncture just the pressure of the jaws with a few pin pricks. their jaw pressure is minimal, their hooked teeth do more to hold onto the prey then pure bite pressure.

If curious, scent you hand with rat and wave it about in it's cage! lol

Good luck , Davo

I got wacked on the face ;asr year by a 7 foot Darwin and it felt just like someone had punched me on the check bone, not real hard but hard enough to think that the guy holding the snake must have done it.
