Yes, and that entire incident was totally my fault. Was not the snake’s fault. Normally it was a quick procedure. You’d pin him, pick him up, put him in a sack, tie the sack, weigh him, put him back in, over. It was so routine every week, he almost went into the sack himself sometimes, but this time I had trouble getting him in, and he got aggravated and I held him longer than necessary or than usual. I’m sure in a snake’s mind that he was just agitated. And I don’t even think he was trying to bite me. He reared up in the sack and opened his mouth and kinda did a whiplash, if a table leg had been in the way, he would have bitten the table leg, my leg was in the way.
