Yeah, being bit doesn't bother me either. I've only been bit by native snakes. I have never been bit by a Boa or Python. The biggest bite I ever had was from Black Rat Snake that was a bit shy under 7 feet. But when your bit by a garter or something similar, you can't really feel the bite, but you'll see a lot of blood! It's a whole other story if a snake starts chewing on you. Ouch!
