    Why
    My boy bit my little brother today without a warning sign, hissing, or an S shaped neck. Is this normal?

    Is it normal for them to bite, yes. Its an animal, all animals will bite. My worst bite actually came from a salamander. What was your brother doing when he got bit?

    No, what I meant was, is it normal to bite without a warning. He was holding it to put it into it's tub after bringing it home.

    Ive had some just open their mouth and try to bite.. He might have been stressed from the little trip.

    Maybe it was because the trip was like 1 and 1/2 hours long?

    Maybe your brother smells like rats. :P If stressed they may strike.

    yeah that's a trip long enough to totally stress a BP out, especially if it was bounced around a bit. for all you know it had just spent the last hour hissing all by itself.
    these things happen, don't sweat it.

    (although i would watch your brother near it, he may be feeling slightly negatively towards it for a while)
