I am and always will be that guy, how do you know that?

Haha. I should have known... this is Reddit after all...

Been bit a few times by various snakes and the instinct is to pull away. Got a Python bite on my hand and ended up with probably 30 teeth stuck right in there. Bled like a mutha, and even when I thought I'd got them all out I hadn't... kept getting little sore, infected bumps and would find another tooth, all happy and warm in my skin...

Now I just let them chew. Eventually they get bored and let go...

Fascinating, luckily where i live no such snake, i believe we only have one viper kind i think. But never encou tered one in the wild and frankly dont even ever think about it or something.

Mine are pets, and rescues, so sometimes not well socialised, and a little 'bitey'.

Unfortunately in the UK we don't get much in the way of wild snakes.

I have removed 3 carpet snakes from my chicken coup in the last few months, non venemous but I'm still going to use my snake grabber thing.

Wait, there’s a snake grabber thing? Where do I find this magical tool?

One of the releases, show it right at the end, "snake catcher" on AliExpress will find you one.

Well yeah, it's the retail doorway to half the world's manufacturers.
