It's sad when someone counts on you reading a thread on a forum... it's a sign of being on here too much.
So have you dropped a pair and taken a few photos already?!

Re: What does a bite from a ball python feel like?
I was bitten by my 600 gram normal female by mistake.. she gets so insane when she smells food, and she missed the rat and hit my thumb.. felt like a cactus was attacking me. Didn't really hurt at all, but it bled like insane.
5 days later, and it was all healed up.

I 2nd that. And to add to that, I would rather get bitten by a ball python, than get pinched.
Getting bit by a ball python is nothing. The thought of getting bit is what scares people(except of course the ones who have already been bit more than once .)
PS: I know this is alil OT, but getting bit by a horse is the worse. (Speaks from experience.)

Re: What does a bite from a ball python feel like?
It is the most horrid pain you will ever experience. You lose all normal feeling in your hand and it feels like your hand is on fire for at least three days. Your hand will swell to three times the normal size and you will remain passed out with all the medicine. Necrosis will start to set...
oh wait... a BALL PYTHON bite...

Re: What does a bite from a ball python feel like?
I just happened to see this thread, and said to myself "Wow, have I got a bite to relay". I received the worst Ball Python bite I have ever had last night during feeding night. I had just started sliding the tub of a 1700 gram 3 year old female out, when she jumped out of the 3 inch gap and bit me between the thumb and wrist. She didn't latch on, but I definitely felt the pain. Instantly, my hand started to turn blue. I went to the sink to wash off the blood, and realized she had left at least three teeth in my hand. This is the first time that I have ever had a Ball lose teeth when biting me. I also have some scabs that are linear, and not just holes, due to the fact that she retracted so fast, that she drug her teeth across my hand.
The second worst bite I ever received from a Ball was a 3 month old Het Hypo girl that latched onto the skin between my thumb and forfinger. She bit down and wrapped my wrist for about 15 minutes before letting go. The worst part about this occurance was that every time I moved a bit, she would think the "prey" wasn't dead, and would bite down harder and constrict some more. The next day, I was amazed to see that the entire top of my hand was blue (bruised). I couldn't beleive that little worm did that much damage.
After saying that, I will say that typically it happens so fast, you didn't know it happened until you look down at your hand.

I didn't feel a thing because the adrenaline rush was overwhelming. I think my hair actually stood on end.
