I have kept Garters for many years now. I got my first two way back in 2000. Those two were both wild caught and of my 3 current girls I have one wild caught. I have never been bitten, not even an attempted assault has happened Mothers day weekend I was at my friends house, looking for snakes. And YAY, I found one. I snatched him up and he did musk me, but not bad and he calmed right down. He was just barely into opaque phase. I put him into the snake bag I have and gave him some water. When we got home I set up a tank for him and got him out of the bag and that's when it happened... HE BIT ME!!!! Can you believe the nerve of that crazy boy??? Lol It was not as bad as I had always imagined. I know everyone says it doesn't really hurt, but you expect being bit by an animal to not feel great. He knawed on me a minute until I made him stop. I put him into the cage and he is still there now. He is really opaque right now. I will try and handle him again once he has shed. Silly boy. Here is my HUGE battle wound IMG_4473.jpg And this is the little assaulter... IMG_4448.jpg

Now you are officially a snake keeper biting and pooping is typically seen as initiation to our wonderful world!

It also transfers a large dose of mind control venom into the victim. This enhances their abilities.

You should have seen Snappy bite when she was alive. She was probably half of the size of your little guy, but she had the strength of an aligator. I've been nipped by Snakey, bitten (and chewed on) by Mama, who was triple Snaps size)... Plus various others who liked to gnaw on me... Snaps bites hurt really bad. When she bit my lip part of my nose went a little numb for a while. I kind of miss her biting though.

I've never been bitten. I've only had 1 snake even open it's mouth at me while herping. Some day I guess.
