B B I'll catch them any way I can. I get bit because I don't try not to. It's just fun to play with them & see if you're fast enough to avoid the strike. Once you've been bitten several times it's no big deal. They can't hurt you with the bite.
Snakes can have some bad bacteria in their mouths though. So I'm not advocating you let them bite you. I've never had an infection from a bite but I must have a strong immune system cause I never get infections from anything.
Greg, Wyatt sounds like a blast! It gets even better when they reach about 8.
