lol Ally no i wasnt scared, a little shocked by how big her mouth was when jaws fully opened, but yes experienced enough to know what she is capable off. Most people that dont know or understand snakes would have been scared. If she had got me it would of been my fault. But i also get very impatient when its feeding time and want her to eat so when she strikes and misses i wont give in until i know she has taken it, and yes i do try and take it away and start again rather than just leave her. Suppose i worry incase she wont eat for some reason.
I do take risks with reps, but as said IF they get me its usually my own stupidity or stubbornness, and i would never blame the animal. But i also know not to make any sudden moves
