Bite club

Nice thread! I've been bitten by my boa constrictor, and provided pictures. I was following this thread, as I just bought a female Coastal yesterday and,,,,,, surprise!! I was bitten today.

Why no photos you ask?? Well,,, not a drop of blood, not a scratch, not a mark. I felt the teeth but I guess the yearlings don't pack a punch like the bigger ones do.

I'm planning on sticking to bites from the smaller ones. That neck bite looks a little more painful than my laugher.

Looks great! Congratulations on the presumably painful and rare bite. Won't help make a case when in public for the fact that snakes make good pets. Perhaps you should conjure up a lie to tell? Blame it on a guinea pig, those things are brutal!

I've had some strange bites involving things other than myself. My phone for example has been bit by snakes and lizards quite a lot. Last night my new female pastel was escaping because I was too excited to pay proper attention while getting her settled in and i went to ever so slightly usher her in with my hand and noticed she was getting ready to strike so I used my phone and my hand, sure enough my phone got struck. A leopard gecko once bit it too but that's a strange story, was my first time seeing these critters mate and scared the crap out of me, as I went to separate them with phone still in hand the male bit it. I'm glad I pulled them away though. The female, although ovulating, was not ready I think. She was depressed for a while afterwords.

yeah the bite actually looks worse then it was after i washed it off all i had was alil bruise, people ask me do i ever get bit by my snakes and i tell them although bite do happen its normally the handlers fault and in my case keeping a medium size rat in the snake room with her feeding response wasnt the best idea after i got rid of the rat she is back to being handled every day
