The wife and child can hold him, He bites me.
I have been bit by him more times that I can remember, I have no clue what the deal is, I am not afraid of him, I dont torture him or tease him... WTF
as a matter of fact, right after I took the picture I walked past and he got the back of my arm,,, again.
oh, and it hurts and bleeds when he bites.

Any ideas what could be going on here?

I guess they can be as moody as any other animal. :shrug:

He thinks you taste good?

Snakes can sense fear... You are afraid, therefore it bites.

Pretty snake though!

I hear there's an opening for a church minister somewhere or the other.

hmmm... that's weird.

I had a Eastern King Snake and she could smell the fear and bite the Hell out of anyone that was afraid to hold her... But she was so relaxed & docile when that fear wasn't present.

Is he a forum member? That would explain it.

Step away from the snake!

They are probably just love nibbles. He is just testing you, stand there and let him bite you alot and earn his respect. :shrug:

You are the sacrifice! Think of yourself as a little white mouse! BTW, it was very nice meeting you and PanLady. Sorry Skillet Girl wasn't there! And, watch out for things like tetnus, blood poisoning, etc.....

Snake bites do hurt though, no matter what kind of snake it is... I have had my fair share of bites! :party:

I have never been bitten by a snake. Hope I never will. I do think he would only bite one time though.

The snake is male so could it be a territorial thing? Are snakes like that? :shrug:

I have no clue as I have spent most of my life screaming and running from them.

Maybe if you stopped swinging your arm over the tank and and making faces at it he would stop biting you - just saying!!!!

You look like a rat?
