Re: What does a bite from a ball python feel like?
My ball took a few strikes at me before. Couldn't really feel it at all. I think it might have struck cuz of my wardrobe choice but i guess we'll never know...

Mine bit me and it really wasn't painful. Like a pin stick maybe? The biggest thing was just the suprise.

Has still made me as nervous as heck ever since when picking it up!

Only time a ball bit me was when it missed the rat... I wasn't using tongs so I can't say it really suprised me. Pain? nah. He didn't hold on, just left a few pin pricks.

I got tagged once by an adult, but my hand hurt worse because when I jerked back, I hit my hand against the wall. Few spots of blood, but nothing painful.

Re: What does a bite from a ball python feel like?
The few times I've been bit by a BP I didn't even feel it. Didn't notice either untill I saw the blood dripping down my arm, lol. That was years ago and none of my BPs have bit me since...now my blood python is another story, the few nips I've gotten from him sting!

Re: What does a bite from a ball python feel like?
I've had my BP (Chopper) for 6 1/2 years now and he's only bitten me once. He really latched onto me when he did it though! October of last year. He let go once he realized that I wasn't a tasty rat. But, I have a numb index finger on my left hand that reminds me of the incident. He must've got the nerve in my finger pretty good! I guess you can say that he really "got on my nerves" that night! Sorry, bad pun. Anyway, I have bad luck with my fingers! I had an accident with a utility knife several years ago that has another one of my fingers numb. I'm running out of healthy, fully functional digits!

Re: What does a bite from a ball python feel like?
When my big female ball's tooth scraped my finger, it kind of hurt because I pulled back, but nothing serious. When I get bit by my smaller 2 foot ball python, it doesn't hurt, its just a suprise and I freak out.
