| I had a really mean trinket rat snake that used to bite me a lot. Ended up having to handle him with gloves until he ran away. He was smaller but it wasn't too terrible |

| @Puck, he is! He finally started to settle in and be more outgoing yesterday. |

| Being bit by a snake honestly scares me more then it actually hurts. I've been bit by both a copperhead once and my Ball Pythons sometimes during feeding. |

| Garter snake musk is rank so it's probably good they scooted off lol |

| Another part of the job... Every chance you get bit one day. Not just by snakes lol Extra precautions are taken with venomous ones and we RARELY ever handle them. Like, never. Most of them have two, if not three enclosures that we guide them between to clean the other ones. |

| I tried to pick up a garter snake once, but it was too fast so it got away. Bull snakes are kind of big here and I could totally imagine being bit if you picked one up. Even if they aren't venomous it would hurt. |

| Well, working at a zoo, it's something I had to learn eventually. It's inevitable. We just don't practice on actual venomous ones... Just super spicy non-venomous noodles. Lol |

| Training helps, for sure. I don't think anyone picks up snakes here unless they are "Snake Catchers". |

| It was in my first year at college. :) I found the snake and the professor about cried. I brought it to him and the rehabber saved the snake's life. Good to note that bullsnakes are non-venomous. I'd never do that for something like a rattlesnake without a tube and a snake hook. Which I am also trained for at this point lol |
| Narran Park |
| I am not afraid of them, but i am definitely wary. I could not fathom picking a snake up in the wild, never. Good job saving it Versa! They all play their roll. |
| Versailles |
| Like, pick it up off the street to take to him. I was the only one who would. He was SUPER chill. He has since recovered and been re-released. |
| Versailles |
| Snakes don't scare me really at all... But I know everything to look for and the venomous snakes within my area, *easily* I can identify them and keep myself safe. Though I have picked up a wild bullsnake at my previous state. Professor took it to rehab after being run over by a car and nobody else wanted to pick it up... So I did lol. |
| Narran Park |
| As an Aussie. It is absolutely DRUMMED into us from a very young age to stay away from snakes. almost all ours are venomous and the non-venomous ones look the same as the venomous ones...so our fear is heightened. |
| Narran Park |
| Yeah you're probably right. A combination between Evolution and childhood trauma. |
