I've only been bitten by newborns, mine calmed down quick and they haven't even tried to bite me since. I'm happy about that because my little girl already packed a nice punch when she was tiny lol.

As a side note...at the most recent Wasatch Reptile Expo in Salt Lake a guy got bit in the face by a big yellow girl around 10' long. It was a good bite...lots of blood...I wouldn't recommend it. Treat all big snakes with the respect they deserve! especially if you are told that they are nasty and have a reputation of biting...lol.

Yeah that was my wife's fault lol, I'm still teaching her that even bps are wild animals and will bite if they feel the need!!!

Nice collection you have going there! Yeah man, my anacondas are usually really nice, calm snakes, but they have their days/moments where I use a hook just to be safe! Each snake is different and I can usually tell when they're grumpy.

I've had 8 snakes(7 BPs) in the last 3 years with my 9th on the way. Hours and hours of handling and lots of feedings. Still have never been bit. Even aggressive snakes are puppy dogs in my hands. I don't know what it is about me.

Ain't that the truth!!! I have a normal who's not afraid to defend herself at all lol

I've been bit quite a few times, and it always hurts. I always make sure to disinfect since they like dirty water so much. The babies are the worst, and the most nippy--I call them little devils.

When I had to relocate my girl she was about 7 foot, and weighed a good bit and I miss her and when I moved into my house I tried to get her back from the guy but he wouldn't do it. Anyways, the only time she ever bit me was when she was a few weeks old, and she was shipped to me, I opened the box and undid the pillow case and poured her in my hand, she latched onto my thumb, then I moved her to my other hand and she bit that one too, I put her in her tank and left her alone for a week. She hasn't bit me after that and she was always a sweet heart. If Tim Bailey or Sean from EBN ever come on you can ask them about her, she was the nicest snake you'd meet, She loved to be rubbed under her head and as most people know a lot of snakes are head shy, though I always took precaution when handling her it was still nice that she was my gentle giant.
