Dusky Pigmy bites hurt. As long as you are not allergic not generally life threatening. They are very fast strikers. Do not try to pin and pick one up behind the head as they are prone to unhinging their jaws and poking with one fang into your finger. I have seen this many times. Use restraint tubes if you need to sex or inject them for any reason. They bite more people in my area than any other venomous snake but rarely make the news. Just be careful and enjoy. If this is your first hot don't get cocky and think you can reach in the cage for something because it has gotten tame (lol) she's just waiting you out.
