Offensive Bites

I've been defensively struck before, but this morning I was cleaning tubs and had just fed the rats before doing so. I reached into one of my large females (1600g) tubs to clean her bedding, and she struck and tried to coil and reflexively I jerked my hand back which pulled her out of the tub.

Stupid on my part, I should've washed my hands between. It didn't hurt just startled the crap out of me, didn't expect it to happen.

How many of you have been bitten by an offensive bite? I know most get hit with the defensive. but offensive is less likely.

I had my BP out on the couch while watching tv about two days after feeding and got hit in the arm pit :O

I'm still waiting to get my first bite! :rage:

I have this 1 girl who is very nasty about biting, she took a swing at me yesterday, so hard that she actually almost fell out of her own tub!

Same here...:D

I had a 2800+ gram girl grab the webbing in between my thumb and fore finger and wrap around my hand. every time I went to touch her she would squeeze and push her teeth deeper into my hand.

Not by a BP, but by my boa. He wasnt going after the rat fast enough for my liking so I reached in to get the rat and got nailed on the thumb and Index finger.

Sounds like the true offensive bite to me. Ouch.

I pulled my hand back while she was trying to coil, and it pulled her straight out of the tub, so she let go, but she keeps giving me the eye now. :rofl:

I got poped pretty good by a big 1250 gram bee this morning.. Got me right in the joint its still sore.
