Attacked

[guidofatherof5]

In all my years of keeping radixes I have never been attacked by one. Feeding response bites, yes but I've never had one come after me at a non-feeding time.
That all changed this morning. This young female has been on the ranch since birth. She has always been a good eater and had a pleasant demeanor. I opened the enclosure this morning and stuck my hand under one of the hides, only to get tagged, repeatedly. I pulled my hand out and continued to get hit. These were open mouth shots. My arm was well inside this 6 foot enclosure and as I pulled my hand out she followed me out. I got my hand and body out of the enclosure and she leaped out towards me. I had had enough and grabbed her. She twisted around and grabbed a mouthful of my hand. She held on for a few minutes. She finally deflated and released her bite. I put her back in(got a photo) and she went under her hide as if nothing ever happened. I must have startled her and she was making a point.
Point taken, I will announce myself the next time I enter that enclosure.

See, there pretty girls think that they can act however they want. Spoiled kids today- I am sorry to hear that you were on the wrong end of a woman scorned Steve. Yet another reason I am glad I am not a card carrying member in the got my @** bitten by a garter club.

Please forgive me, but she is very... striking!!

That will teach you

You should call her Miss Balistic

Oh Steve, you dont need to put up with that kind of temper. I suspect she may be bipolar. And seeing as how I am a recovering victim of this disorder myself, I should be able to give her some benifical counceling. Ill provide unlimited sessions free of charge, just send her on over!

Jason,
My wish for you is that you become a card carrying member real soon. It only adds to the experience of keeping them. It makes you more at one with your snakes.
Please don't tell me you've never had musk, tail-whipped into your mouth and/or eyes yet.
You're missing out on all the fun.
