Snakes are a primal fear we inherited as a survival mechanism. Going to the exhibit is possibility, and the apartment is comfort, freedom, and responsibility. Perhaps you have gone through a sort of positive change in life that you are excited about, and are amazed with all the possibilities. The man welcoming you is a representative of how you feel, you feel you have reached a milestone in life. Giving you a black snake... positive black is possibilities, negative black is the unknown. The snake, besides being a fear, represents power, and its small size is the beginning of responsibility. You have been given an important responsibility in RL, perhaps. Enjoying it means you feel empowered, but the bite is the drawback to power. The location of the bite, near the thumb, means you are losing your hold on the task. Biting the other hand means your task is becoming more out of hand. No blood means the failure is more of an annoyance than something of great loss (blood can represent money, health, and family, so none of these is being affected). By killing the snake means you desire to end the responsibility, and burring it under the couch means you hope this problem will just "go away." You are fearing, or have achieved, a lack of responsibility in a minor task. By learning of the growth potential of the snake and its possible danger, this means that whatever task you are given it is best to remove it because as the responsibility grows it will be a great one, and dangerous to fail. (Bail early, basically) The numb hand is the consequence for ditching your responsibility, and the small blood is your loss. You may loss some money, health, or hurt family ties slightly. Washing your hands and controlling the bleeding means by acting fast you can advert any real damage in real life. Washing up means that basically, you'll "brush it off" so to speak, and your family seeing you do these things means the need for family support, perhaps (the last part, I'm not so sure).
Unfortunately, this is the best I can do with the limited info you gave us. It would help to know more about what you are experiencing in real life. This would make the interpretation more accurate.
