(i think he got a BIT of chewing in first lol)
it felt kind of itchy and irritated for a few days because his teeth were dragging around my hand, but getting bitten is not NEARLY as bad as you would think be.
(unless you've got a hoggie trying to chew your hand off for an hour lol)
but i've only owned boas and my bp.
although i'm biased, i've spent my entire life skating and biking (and getting road rash) alittle cut or bite is not a huge deal in my eyes lol. although i do admit, when it happens, its STARTLING lol.

From personal experience, though not with snake bites, I TOTALLY agree with this. I had a sugar glider once and they'll bite with their sharp little teeth. Some are just finicky, some are frightened, but it's more of a shocking event than it is painful. It catches you by surprise.
Then again, I'm not too responsive to pain, so it could just be me.
