    They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.

    Nice battle wound.
    I think given the size of our Binky's mouth at the moment, if she tried to bite me I'd have to give her 10 out 10 for guts and effort. Yesterday I'm sure she was tolerating my fingers in her tank because she was trying to work out if they were food.

    I think snakes can tell the difference right away if they are being offered food or putting your hand near. I just think they bite out of excitement

    Chris I have a new checkered that's around the age of yours, he bites me everyday, and draws blood!

    Alright. Battle wounds... I don't really take pics of every wound, so I can't post them all. In fact, only two that I can think of have been recorded.

    Northern water snake. Meanest wild snake I've ever caught. YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.




    My new checkered!!!

    Yes!!! It was really bad!!

    Yeah, I know. The post was for the water snake, but I had to include him! besides, that's the only other picture of a wound I have! (but I've had a looooot more... Wish I had taken pics of the racer bite!)

    But I'll say this. And believe it!!

    The little checkered bite hurt more than the water snake!!!!!! It was on FIRE!!!!!!!

    I have that one of when snap bit my lip. That's the only one I've ever taken a picture of. Hades did it too. Very small mark, but was dripping blood for quite some time.
