Re: POLL: Have you been bit by a BP?
I have never been bitten by a ball python but one of my 2 juveniles has that defense attitude going so that might change within a few days. I have been bitten by a 4ft green anaconda that wasn't to pleasant and bitten many a times by black racers, corn snakes etc.
Re: POLL: Have you been bit by a BP?
Never been bitten by a ball python, but was struck at once and was missed by a sickly lookin Petsmart ball python, poor little guy was scared...
However I have been simultaneously bitten by 5 king snakes, all on one hand, and they refused to let go and attempted to swallow some of my fingers...
Re: POLL: Have you been bit by a BP?
From what I have heard you're most likely to get tagged by a female who just laid, so this could depends a lot on if people have bred before.
Re: POLL: Have you been bit by a BP?
Just got nailed twice the other day cuz I was feeding with big feeding tweezers from petco, and my hand got too close. First my boa, then my bp adult male. Both got the same finger too lol. My male tried coiling me but he let go once he realized.
Re: POLL: Have you been bit by a BP?
Never been bitten. Have been struck and many times by my adult female.
Re: POLL: Have you been bit by a BP?
Never been bitten by my BP, but i'm always aware that it could happen and it probably will, one of these days.
Re: POLL: Have you been bit by a BP?
I haven't been bitten by my ball but we got her when she was fully grown as a rescue. I've known people that have gotten bitten by ball pythons but they only got bitten by babies that were either getting fed, or the babies were being defensive.
Re: POLL: Have you been bit by a BP?
I have been bitten by every snake ive ever owned at some point. My female BP is very aggressive and strikes every time I get her out. She was a rescue and was very mistreated. My male is pretty tame but has bitten me twice so far...My red tail is just mean and bites me every time he gets out and even strikes at me through the tank when I walk by it..he is a baby nic red tail tho so he will tame down with more handeling.....I hope
Re: POLL: Have you been bit by a BP?
I initially answered only once when I took this poll a while back but now I have to change my answer to more than once since Chopper tagged me the other day.
Re: POLL: Have you been bit by a BP?
Yeah, I no longer belong to the only once club either. I've had four of my own tag me, and then had a pastel female I was looking at during the last show get me.
I'm starting to feel like a real snake owner. :D
