Hello, this is my first time in this site. I adopted a baby BP this past weekend. He/she is a little over 15 inches, i think. I was informed to wait about a week to give him/her time to adjust to new home, tank and all.

The 2nd day at home, i wanted to arrange the aquium a little better to have a good warm area and a good cool area.

My BP was hissed a little and did the ( S ) shape stand to me. I knew from reading this ws simply a nervous baby. As I place the fresh water dish down, he/she dashed out and either hit it or bite it.

This is my first snake, and I will admit, I am affraid/nervous about the first bite.

Any advice or info on how this feels when it does happen ?

Do they hurt much ? Will they grab hold of you and continue to add pressure on you ?

Whats is the general experience like ?

I do hope this fear is all for nothing,.

thanks

Luc
