just got taged for the first time

hi i thort i would let you know abount an hour ago i got bitten by my diamond.
iv been waiting for it to happen and i was stupid i put my hand over his head when i went to grab him. i dident see his head there because the lights were off and he latched on.
hes so cute he thinks hes tuff.
two little pin holes on my finger were too hard to take a photo of though
any way i just thort you might get a laugh out of it.

once he let go i picked him up properly and he was fine and calm i think he was just telling me off.

They try so hard to let you know whos the boss hehe they are so cute when they are little wait till you get tagged by a biggun then youll have a pic or two to show us! Once they get you each one after is not so bad...I think the fright is worse than the bite.
odie,
congrats on your first tag

Well done, here are some pics I put up a while ago of a little kiss I got off a 3 foot Mac. He got me by surprise too, don't worry, it looks a lot worse than it was.

Hey elapid, I had my 9 foot Diamond latch on fairly well. Not something to forget but then again it isn't really as bad as some might expect!!!! I had a 5 foot carpet that used scare the bejesus out of me more than any other snake I have come across, she once got me 7 times in about 15 seconds.

to be honest i was so scared about when it would happen and how bad it would be. so when it i actually had a grin after because the first bite was finally over.
but im not looking forward to a large python bite.
it was nothing like i would expect i was expecting lots of blood and pain. it felt like i put my hand on a prickle bush
