    Got a bite
    So, I experienced my first bite from a BP today. I am very new to BPs. I am getting one for my kids and I soon so we've been going to the local reptile store and interacting with them a lot lately. My daughter was holding a 2-3 month old Jungle Pastel. He was moving through her hands and I reached out and put my hand up under him and was moving upwards to try to support him. I must have scared him and he have me a quick little love tap. Totally my fault and no big deal. I figure it was bound to happen sooner or later. I think I will k ow enough not to do that again.

    No pics. It left a tiny V from the bottom jaw and then a few red marks. Nothing that shows up on a pic. Really didnt hurt at all. That little guy was quick. I was shocked and a bit upset that I caused him to do it.

    Oh Slim has a boo boo :rofl: (Sure it's not ketchup?)

    To the OP

    Getting tagged is part of snake ownership (for some it happens more often than others :rolleyes:), don't let this deter you, hatchlings are defensive and it was a very normal reaction.

    Now you are rt of a special club ;)

    Ive only been bit once and didnt even know it happened bc i wasnt looking lol.

    Slim- how has the physical therapy been going for you? Im assuming you had to have the thumb amputated after a bite that severe...

    Im guessing that arrived via youre friendly pastel lesser boy? :D
