adult ball python bites

Man yesterday was my feeding day. And I have a adult female ball python who is a great eater. Always takes the rat out of my hand. Well the other day she missed and got my hand. I berly even saw it. I've been bitten by babies and yearlings but man that adult bite hurts lol.
So it being the first time my fiance and I had to examine my wounds lol. It was definitely a hunting bite as opposed to fear b/c she dig her fangs pretty deep when she pulled away. But the top of my thumb has a mouth print shaped like her head. You can see her inner and outter teeth. The same on the bottom. Idk just kinds cool to look at maybe I wierd lol

Might want to use tongs from now on. Try not to make a habit of getting bit because a bite could cause a nasty infection. Ball Pythons do not have fangs, just small teeth. :salute:

I always use tongs. Have had too many miss and hit the tongs to risk it. I have tat's so its not that the bite is much worse than that..... Just dont like getting bit.

Exactly, their teeth can break off in your skin also.

Post some pictures haha

a bite never happened until we see it - picturesplease:banana:

Yea my Fiance had a 14' retic tooth break off in her calf!!! now thats a bite! Big Bertha came from under the bed and latched onto her. She always let the snake roam the bedroom. Not really safe though!
