similarly, i think at some point we have all draped a snake around our necks. 99.99999% nothing will happen. but (as you found out) there is a potential for something bad (and it could've been catastrophic if your snake actually bit your eye). i know that the likelihood is prob low, but personally, i don't wanna lose an eye. i don't want sutures on the face. so, i direct my snake's head away from my head when they are out of their enclosure. i don't multi-task with a roaming snake head close to my face.
sometimes the way we do things may not be wrong per se, but often our husbandry/habits/etc, could be fine tuned. i've received tons of info from members here that has positively impacted how i care for and handle my animals and i've kept snakes for well over 30 yrs. don't view it as an attack, simply look at it as "there may be an easier way"...

I totally get that and thank you for the concern, my point in all of this is that I didn't post these photos to get lessons, to get taught how to take care or handle or not get bit by my snakes..I posted these photos for fun its just a photo...Im ok with being bitten by my snakes..if anything..I like the feeling.
But, they way I care for my snakes...Im happy with it. I didnt need lectures haha just wanted to post a photo..If I need help I ask for it ..If you guys want to help me so bad go check out my other post where I found a lump on my snake and wasnt sure what it was..I dont know if the way I write sounds rude but im not trying to be rude..I really appreciate the effort its just not what I posted these pics for
