    I was bit the first night I brought home my first BP! Stuck my hand in to check the temperature and did not know enough to see that she was going to strike. She was so tiny and the bite mark was so weak that I all could was laugh! :P Oh, and learn to keep my hands out when she is cranky!

    Haven't own a snake yet (just sent my money to Frankie so I'll have one soon) but when i was 16 my Bearded Dragon Geezer bit me pretty bad he ever showed aggression before and even when he did bite me he didn't hiss or even show his beard but lets just say it hurts more than you would think >.>

    first bite would have to be from a garter snake at the age of 5 or 6.

    scariest goes hands down to a near miss with an atheris chlorecis that missed my knee by about 1 1/2". those tree vipers have an impresive strike range to say the least.

    worst has to go to the 10' burm that took my whole hand up to my wrist and held on for 10 or 15 minutes.

    ditto for me.
    My first captive bite was from my boyfriends RTB. He was a cranky little guy and tagged me once. Scared me more than it hurt that's for sure!

    I have been bitten by a few bp's and they really don't hurt very much. It is more of shock than anything. The most painful bite was from a retic that I use to have. He was around 6' and caught me in the web of my hand while I was holding him. He would not let go and kept trying to twist his head. He held on for about 5 minutes, which felt like an hour. Needless to say I did not keep him to long after that. lol

    My first bite was from my Col. red tail boa... that was a MEAN snake!!

    Not to long ago a few freinds at work were asking if I've ever been bit, I told them not in 4 years and not from any of the snakes I have now. Not to long before that I got a new girl that had been traded 2-3 times in a short period of time. I fed her a few times and she was still a little freaky... The same day the work people asked it was also feeding day and I got nailed by a 850 gram pastel girl.... 2 days after that I had a baby spider bite my fingure, 4 days after that I had the same spider hang by his teeth from my figure.. he wouldn't let go...

    Havn't been bit since... knock on wood....

    I went two years without getting tagged! Then less than a month later I got tagged for a second time while telling someone that ball pythons rarely bite :rolleyes: That was my first bite. I got it while filling up the water dish before he struck the live rat I had just put in the tub. Good one... I know! The second one was from my spider and you couldn't see it once I washed the blood off. He has sort of lost it. He tries to bite me all the time. When he bit me I was holding him trying to put him in a bag :rolleyes:
