Not a good week so far.
I was in the snake room the day before yesterday, and as usual my jampea retic raised up at her cage door expecting food. I noticed some irregularity of the groove that the tounge comes out of on the upper lip. So I decided to investigate. I got her out, she turned and bit me. My fault completely. I didn't break her feed response like I usually do( usually rub her with the hook for about 20 seconds and this time I just kinda rubbed her once); lesson learned. Me and my GF get her in a bag, she pokes her head out, I grabbed her head so I can open her mouth and have a look(the whole time I'm bleeding). There's no discoloration, just a small area of swelling that appears to be a broken or possibly imbedded tooth. So she's going to the vet tomorrow to be on the safe side. Not how I wanted this week to go, but very very glad I noticed it before its got a chance to progress.
Now for what you all want to see. An 8 foot jampea bite. Not as bad as I expected it to be. Didn't get a good one when there was a bunch of blood, this is after I put her back and had wiped most of it off.
