camspeed don't play the man up card. for people who haven't been bitten by a snake of any size it can be a bit daunting putting your hand in an enclosure and not knowing what to expect. so if people use a snake hook to remove their snakes do they need to man up also. it doesn't make a person tough to get tagged by their snake.

I must definately be the.....princess fairy....type....my 2 yr old stimmie has tagged me twice since I had him, and I'm a bit nervous of him now.....for a while about a year ago, I used white cotton gloves. 
yes, I'm a wimp...but I'm allowed to be, I'm an old lady. Any snake bigger than a stimmie is too big for me, and when he tagged me a couple of weeks ago...he thought I was a mouse, I didn't realise he was hungry, and there was blood, and it bloody hurt for 2 days !!!!

Thank you donks....I know you care about me, and understand that I am "delicate"..... a fragile little herper I may be, but I'm still a herper and spread the word to everyone I can about what wonderful creatures snakies are.

our 2 year old darwin bit me didnt hurt a bit i had to see blood to know he bit. snake bites arent too painful cat bites, parrot bites and shark bites hurt like hell i know from experience
it depends on both the size, and the intention of the snake .... their teeth are like razors so will draw blood from a little nip, and you'll hardly feel a thing (unless a tooth gets stuck) lol. Being bitten by a hungry 12 ft olive python who thinks your hand is a rat, now that hurts .... for about 6 weeks I could hardly move my hand. That'll teach me for getting so complacent with him .... might've been gentle most times, but still a predatory animal which reacts on instinct.

oh yeah that can hurt but a cat bite is dangerous infection wise a parrots beak is made to break the strongest of seeds and a shark well its jaws work like a chainsaw. having been bitten by all so far i give the cat bite the vote for the most painful ( although the shark bite was from a dead one)
I don't bother, to lazy to put gloves on. Heck even when handling a 7 foot jungle (who has tried to strangle my neck) I just man up and go for gold.
Oh there is a lot more of her that is not in the picture LOL

Maybe if you are scared of an animal that you have to wear gloves to handle it, its not the animal for you is all I was saying. I have been bitten a number of times by my 6' olive, doesn't make me apprehensive about picking him up though. Like someone else said, I'd rather get bitten by a snake then a psycho cat or bird.
