Got bit two nights ago while moving the male into a larger container. This is a mature male, I'm guessing about 4". He was very calm and let me pick him up to move him, but he seemed to get nervous when I went to put him down. He never reared up, I think he was more just trying to hold on, I barely even noticed the penetration, it felt more just like pressure.
After about 10 minutes I felt a lot of itching at the site of the bite, but no burning or tingling. The area was slightly raised and reddened about 1" diameter, subsiding by the next morning. Now it's about the size of a mosquito bite, and itches about the same.
I honestly don't think I got a lot of venom, but figured it would be worth sharing since I didn't see any other A avic reports on here.
