    Oh wait that's a black widow, sorry. Being bit by bp doesn't hurt, in fact it's kind of cute to see your snake's face after he/she bit you.
    Hahahahaha! That made me actually lol.
    Dude, where did Bob go?

    Being bit by a 24 inch juvie feels like sandpaper. You wonder "what the heck just happened", because its too fast for your eyes to see. It bleeds quite a bit, though.

    I have been bit a few times by one of my crazy 4000g females. She is insane when food is in the room and when I open the tub to feed her sometimes she'll come out after me. I can usually avoid it but when she gets me it certainly doesn't feel like a pin prick. I usually find a few teeth in my hand for weeks afterwards.

    Re: What does a bite from a ball python feel like?

    I have not been bitten by my juvie bp's yet. I have been bitten by a California king snake while attempting to feed it at work (old job at a ma and pa pet shop back in 2004). I was wearing gloves because I was a wuss, the gloves were those fuzzy leather ones. Go figure, I got tagged. Not the snake's fault. I slipped the glove off with the snake still attached and put him back into his home. I felt bad, that snake really really thought that glove was a mouse. He didn't let the glove go for a few days. The bite wasn't that bad, the constricting scared me.

    Re: What does a bite from a ball python feel like?

    Whenever someone asks me this question, I tell them it looks like I had a fight with a straight pin (and lost). Most of the time, it doesn't even hurt or bleed much at all. Just some pin pricks and a surprised snake.

    If you take the Hard half of velcro, an slap your skin pretty quick with it, it feels exactly like a bite...
