I agree that birds can do more damage, but birds bite & let go- not all snakes do. Or they bite repeatedly, when they're high-strung types like VBB. And you'll have many years to look forward to more of the same, lol. Please, just be sure that's what you really want to live with- a snake that's a literal "pain" to handle, lol.
