Thanks for the kind words everyone.
I have actually been very lucky. With the exception of baby snakes (either that I have bred or bought) I have never really been bitten. On the odd occasion that I have been struck at fortunately it was just half hearted attempts that missed. In fact the worst bit I have even seen was an adult corn snake that decided to bite my ex. Was the only time that snake even tried to bite in all the years I have had her - just shows she is a better judge of character than I am!

I do try to handle all my pets regularly in an attempt to keep them friendly. There's a couple that I wouldn't trust with visitors, but I am happy for anyone to hold most of them.

I got a good bite off Lo'tan the carpet python. He had quite bad neuro issues and just locked onto my fingers

started coiling up my arm. I had to slowly extend my arm as he was trying to coil to stop him getting a grip. ended up with me stretched out fully with snake tail in box and head latched to me hand. I got a fingernail under his teeth and wiggled. they dont like that. Got me with all 4 rows of teeth though

It wasnt long after that he found a new home

This is Lo'tan or Monty as my Missis insisted on calling him

If you can believe it he was abandoned at a store. We think the owner either overheated him or gave him toxic shock with a cleaner or something because he was displaying some serious neurological issues (headwaving, uncontrolled coiling, going upsidedown etc) we took him in for a few months and detoxed him, stabilised him, fed him back up as he was very thin and built his condiion back up. Once he was as good as he was going to get one of the managers who loves snakes took him on. Seriously though, snakes this size jobby like a doberman

@andy the turds outta yours must be huge!

These were taken just before he left us.
Never seen marking like that on the head. even for a Jag.
