When I was checking up on my new baby (unnamed as of yet) this morning he decided to latch onto my pointer finger. He then proceeded to coil around it quite adorably, even though I was scared to death to move much...I know that mouth rot can easily kill them if they break teeth. I had to drip a bit of water over his head to get him off after waiting nearly five minutes for him to let go on his own.

As long as you don't pull them off, their teeth won't break, right? I was very calm about it and didn't pull on him at all. It was still crazy though...I haven't been bitten by a snake in a long while.

You did the right thing not to pull him off. Its quite cute when a baby latches on to your finger like they're going to be able to eat you

Jasmin did it to me not long after I got her (my first tag) and she didin't even leave a mark

I've been tagged by one of the boas as well. She just struck and let go. Felt like a few pin pricks, nothing worse. Of course the boas still have a lot of growing to do yet, could be very different in a couple of years

Nagini was my first. Typical! but I was proud when the royal had a go. Bless her. I expect it from evilness, but never thought the timid lump would dare

Wish it was a fake one, the little ******

Lewy says I handled the bite really well though, I made sure I put Nagini down safely before panicking. Shame really- he deserved a drop after those fang marks

Wish I'd had a camera ready, offered the albino cali youngster a pinky yesterday, completely missed it and struck - and coiled, the tongs. I thought only the grey band was that daft!
