Raaawwwr!

Baby #09 shows its fury to the world…as represented by my finger.


Thank you, as always, for reading.

Does it hurt? I've never been bitten before and frankly, I'm scared as hell!

[Snakesitter]

Not at all -- at that size they are lucky to draw blood. It's a normal defensive response for a tiny newborn, and the behavior passes quickly as they learn to trust the hand.

Scalybunni, note "at that size". Haha, but most colubrids are nothing major to get bitten by, mole snakes are an exception though, but only at adult size. The bigger boas and pythons are obviously something else.

[Snakesitter]

True.
