Painful ?

[ZARADOZIA]

Well, pain has levels and it depends on your tolerance of each level.
Tatoo in the web of my hand is about the equivelant of a constant cat scratch (to me)
Snake bite, less painful than a pissed off cat bite.
Pissed off cat can do way more damage than a pissed off snake. (Usually & depending on how big the teeth are of course)

Evie (cat) has ripped my hands and arms open and I mean where I was pouring blood. (She is easily scared by smells and loud noises, I unfortunately was holding her when she spazzed) It didn't hurt until an hour later.

Spike (cat) had gotten his foot caught in a cat door (F* POS) and was freaking out. I went to grab him and he bit down on my hand so hard that his teeth almost went all the way through. I held on to him as he held onto me and kicked the door in so it would release his foot. I didn't feel it until about 20 minutes later. My hand swelled up twice it's size and had t take antibiotics.

Both of these instances are way more painful than anything a snake can do and I weathered them jsut fine. Mostly it's the shock of the strike that scares you and pain sets in after. At least this is true for me. Unless the snake naws on you...I haven't experienced that so I am unsure what the level would be.
