To be honest? I would rather be bitten by a full grown corn snake than even a Chihuahua...do a lot less damage and be a lot less bloody LOL!
So TRUE! I've been bit by a 6' rat snake, a 3' water snake, a 2' corn snake, a garter snake and probably others that I can't remember, but the bites were tiny little pin pricks that oozed a drop of blood and was done. No biggy. Mickey bit my BF and it was no big deal. Of course, BF was freaked out by it at first but then after, was like, hey, that wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Snake teeth are tiny, but there are lots of them. Snake bites are worse if you pull your hand back because then there is some tearing of your skin, just like a dog bite, only not as bad. ;)
He's a beautiful snake and I too, am sorry to hear about Zig. We "lost" one of my ex's snakes in our apartment in the fall. At some point in the winter, our roommate woke up to the snake knocking things off his desk. That was a king snake, also notorious for escaping. ;)
