First time MY bp bit me

Ok, so it was feeding day today and went down stairs to get a mouse out of the cage, brought it up and noticed he was in his hide. So I put the mouse in a seperate container and forgot to wash my hands after touching in. :oops: So I then went to pick up my BP and he got me in the pinki. It wasnt the worst bite ever but deffently made me jump and yell a couple of words....... anyways, thought id share that this is the first time iv been bit by MY ball python. And yes, I took all fault by it.

congrats?

By the way, why even post if you are just going to try to belittle or deride someone?

I'm sorry you got bit, I used to get bit alot when mine was much more nippy. And lets not make this another one of those stupid ardument threads

I don't think Karma was trying to belittle anyone. I took it as more of a hesitant "congrats" with a humorous tone as if they weren't sure if the person were taking the bite as a "rite of passage" or something....which I kind of think it is, in a way.


In the cycling world, there are two kinds of cyclists....those who have fallen down...and those who haven't ridden yet!

In the snake-keeping world, there are those who have been bit...and those who WILL be bit! ;)

Judy you are so smart! I wasn't trying to be rude or make you angry. But next time you PM me, PJ FF, please don't use offensive language. Thanks!

PJ FF or whomever, there is never a reason to PM any member of this forum using offensive language. If there's an issue please treat it respectfully both in public and in private messaging, or bring it to a Mod or Admin for resolution.


I agree with Judy that there was obviously no attempt to be rude or belittle on Karma's part. We often do see bites as a right of passage be that as it may (and these are not hot snakes we are dealing with).

Congrats!
I've yet to be inducted into the BP bite club, but I'm sure it will happen sooner or latter. Been struck at a few times, but none have tagged me yet!

My apologies, I should have kept my mouth shut. One word posts on the internet are often hard to decypher unless you know the person, and I should have withheld judgement.

Oh I've done the internet stuff the foot in the mouth business myself and had to back it up a bit, it happens and thanks for handling it well in your last post Snakey.
