Thankfully that's never happened to me. I've got a four-year-old female who's still never bitten anyone. God help me when I start breeding her. I don't want her to get nippy.

Similar situation happened to me once. Was helping my buddy out at a show and he was talking to some people looking to buy their first ball python. He told them "ball pythons are so tame" and next thing you know I'm reaching in a tub full of baby ball and get nailed about 3 times.

LOL... That's soooo true. I had my 4 foot albino male boa do that. He's the nicest snake I have. One day I'm showing him off and all of a sudden... BAM.

The best one was when I was showing off one of my female ackies and she decided to grab onto my finger and just hang on for some time. There was blood everywhere. I have to say that hurt. Every time I moved she would get harder and harder.

Bites are just part of the fun of keeping these guys. :D

Occasionally I get nailed by one of the kitten snakes (a misnomer as kittens are VISCIOUS!!!) and it is kinda nice, in an "oh yeah, you're a snake" kind of way.

Nice tag.
