That's because water snakes are nasty as $h!t. I haven't been bitten by any snakes, just a few lizards, porcupine, oppossum, and almost got bitten in the face by a blue and gold macaw.AquataHolic420;612842; said:

The trick to getting use to bite is to expect it to happen. I agree with venomous keepers: its not if you get bit... its when you get bit.
My worst is a tie between a 2 foot rescue savanah monitor, and a great horned owl through a welding glove.

That is a gorgeous snake! Almost looks like the kingsnakes that are down in Florida. Very kewl! My dad breeds snakes, red tailed boas, burmese pythons, king snakes, corn, milksnakes and sand boas. I have to say the burmese hurt the MOST to get bitten by. Those huge curved back teeth, oooo weee! They TEAR YOU UP!! Almost had to get stiches once...haha, that sucker really let into me that day.MDC_Leviathan;612941; said:
I've had a rattlesnake bite my boot, haha...i was trying to catch it, so i lifted my boot so it would attack it and distract it cuz they can't strike twice very fast. You could see the imprint and the venom on my boot! Good thing they were steel toed eh?
Worst lizard bite would have to be from a Tokay gecko!! Those things are like pitbulls with amazing crushing power! Gaaaliee it hurt!!
Finally, my sister has been bitten by just about everything, from spiders, to squirrels, to deer (strange I know). Her weirdest one though is she got a painted turtle attached to her chin. She thought it was cute, so she was gettin all up in its Kool-aid, next thing she knew....bam! Turtle hangin from her chin! 5 stiches later she was a happy camper!
i was catching a garter snake when i was about 5. it bit me and i bled, i thought nothing of it but my mother seemd to think i was going to die, haha she called poison control and washed it with peroxide.
when I was about 7 I got bit by a milk snake 
when I was around 8-9 my savannah monitor decided my hand looked better than the frozen mouse.

dry bite?
I hope you don't go to rattlesnake roundups, they are the stupidest things I have ever heard of. Poor rattlers.
got my boot. oh yes there was venom. the nearest rattle snake round up is about 80 miles away. my family just cooks everything we kill. i shot a squirrel in my back yard. and guess what i taxidermed the head and then cooked it. it was real good.

you made it sound like it bit you. I hate people that get a dry bite and think they are invincible. Most people bitten by rattlesnakes are drunk.
