    Has anyone here been bit by a 2000-2500gram ball? Mines still in acclimation mode and when I reach in to change the water she look's like she wants to strike. I'm not afraid or anything but definetly want to know what the experience is like getting bit by one that big! any pics or experienced bites from a ball that big would really be appreciated...

    I'm kind of curious about this too. I've been bitten by hatchlings, a 600 gram female, and an 850 gram female. So far, the 600 gram snake did the most damage. Looked kind of like Christie's bite. I'm sure I'll eventually find out first hand, but just how much damage can a bp do at 2500 grams? How about a 6000 gram female?

    Adam??????
    (umm...not asking how much damage Adam's bite would do...rather, asking for Adam's input!) :colbert:

    I still say that I'd rather be bitten by ANY of my snakes than be bitten by my 60lb chow/lab. She does more damage when she is PLAYING than the 600gm female did! And I have a rat that has given me the worst bite that I have had in many, many years!

    Re: once bitten...
    6000 gram that would be like 5 1/2 ft or more right?

    Re: once bitten...
    Yea 6000 grams would be "deep and wide" or rather long and fat. I have never seen one that big its like 13 lbs

    Re: once bitten...
    yeah mine is 4 1/2 ft and 2500+ (give a few grams) I know sooner or later I'll get it and it doesn't bother me. It's just seeing a ball python that big and thinking about it striking at me would just be a lil' nerve wrecking. I'm sure it wouldn't really hurt probably just sting. bUt seeing that ish come at you is what messes with your nerves...


    I'm just curious but yeah anybody with pics or experience with a ball around that size or larger let me know...

    i have been nailed by other pythons much larger but not balls at adult age. i would assume with my exp is the punch feeling would be heavier.
