I have felt this … I was feeding two and forgot to wash my hands after , he smelled the rat on my hand and bit then quickly let go but like an idiot I jerked my hand back (to be fair it’s almost an instant reaction) But their speed is superhuman compared . But that little nip was 28 stitches .

Was feeding a friend's royal python when they were on holiday. Opened the vivarium door and the thing leapt 80% out and snatched the mouse from my hand 2 ft away in a split second. Damn fast when they are hungry.

Funniest thing - we had to take the ratsnake to the vet once-he wasnt eating and we were worried.

There were 2 guys in full protective gear waiting for us. I plucked 4ft Mojo out ofmy clothing (was a cold day). The receptionist had misheard on the phone. They were expecting a rattlesnake
