    Food fight/strike

    Looks like I had a bloody nose. No, that is the blood of my girl VP. I had given her a pinky when another female struck at her. She must have hit a blood vessel as the blood was running out of the top of VP's head. What you don't see is the blood that dripped on the floor before I could get the bleeding under control.
    Note to self. Snakes don't like having pressure applies to their heads. VP calmed down after a minute or so. It took about 10 minutes to get the bleeding stopped. This was a very strange incident that has never occurred before.
    VP seems to be no worse for the wear.
    Everything is back to calm in radixland.

    wow, yes
    I've had that much blood from a snake once
    I think when they struggle, it takes longer for the bleeding to stop
