*sigh*...My first bite...

Well, he just ate and I was setting his cage back up and had my hand in there putting his hide back in and he flew through the air and got me. He got a decent bite in too, about half an inch or so above the knuckle, prolly got about 15-25 little cuts from his teeth. didnt hurt at all, felt like I scratch my finger on something rough, but scared the freakin :cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::cens0r: out of me. Will never look at him the same, mean little sucker, lol, next time he bites me its on son, its on like donkey kong, :sabduel: , take him out back and go hand to hand with him. Id have pics but my camera sucks and it blurs the image. Just when you think your safe, when you think your ok, the impossible happens, your world is turned upside down and the ones you hold closest are lost and the once safe world you were in, has become dangerous chaos.... :8:

I'm so sorry for you. I know how you feel. From this moment, you can't trust anyone. Things are never going to be the same again. From now on, it's war!!! :sabduel:

Next time the snake bites ya give him a hard pinch under the neck.

There is no need to remove hides before feeding. Since ball pythons are actually ambush preditors...having hides to hunt from helps them feel more secure.

Bites happen....thats what makes keeping reptiles exciting ;)

Just you're snake being a snake, bites happen, welcome to our world. :D

My brother was home from school and has never seen him eat, so i moved all the stuff in the cage out of the way so him and his friend could see easier. Normally I just plop the mouse in and let him do his thing.

There lies the problem...He thought your warm hand was another mouse!! I wouldn't put my hand in a snakes tub when he is in feeding mode!!

Please tell me that you are joking..

Bites happen. Taking it personally is completely pointless; just move on.
