The pet store I was at recently has a small, cramped reptile room. Inside, somebody had picked up a baby boa out of its tank and let their child hold it without the clerk's permission, so I asked the child to hand it to me because it was starting to sway its head. This to me, is "Hey, you're too close, I might bite."

So he did, and of course, the little guy bit me on the wrist.

I've never been bitten by a snake before, so I'm not sure about the best way to care for this.
