Pulled away from a bite, did I hurt her?

Cornsnake bit me last night; it seemed she was hungry, she never does that. I should have noticed that she was kind of tracking my hand. It was odd because she eats every Sunday and this was only Tuesday, but we fed her again after that and she snapped it up fast. Anyway, I reflexively pulled my hand away without thinking, and I know that that could hurt a snake, I just don't know in what way, and how to check. Help! (Don't know if this matters at all but it was at the bottom of my right index finger)

She's probably fine, but keep an eye on her mouth in particular to catch and possible injuries that might have happened

The main thing to look for is missing teeth. If any did come out they're likely still in your hand. If you don't feel any signs of teeth in your hand she's most likely fine.

If you do feel teeth you need to keep an eye on her to make sure infection doesn't develop.
