POLL: Have you been bit by a BP?

I've only had mine for a few days now and haven't handled her enough to get bit. The previous owner said she was temperamental but I haven't seen it.

I have also handled 2 babies at work. 1 will strike at the other employees, but has never struck at me. The other is just really chill towards everyone. I've only been working with them for about 6 months now. At the zoo we had 2 males that were both around 4 foot. Neither one of them has ever bit anyone and they get handled by several of the staff and during shows they get pet by tons of visitors. I handled those guys for over 2 years.

That said though, I was bit by my brother's corn snake when I was younger, and get tagged repeatedly by king snakes at work (I eventually learned to wear gloves with those guys lol).

get bitten by 2 of mine weekly every time i clean there cages they wait till in my hand then do the old side bite on the forearms as they are crawling around on my arm just glad they are less then year old so they will mello out as they get bigger. use to have an almost 6 foot wild caught female that hated people she use to get me every time i reached in her cage.

No. I have never been bit by my Ball Python. And I have had her since august of last year. But, I have been tagged a few times by my kingsake.

I say you have to go through initiation like a gang member lol... I remember when I wanted a ball python and corn snake. All I could think about was getting bit and thats why I didn't get one until my friend said it doesn't hurt and introduced me to his mean retic. So I got bit took it like a man and hey, here I am with big balls now ;) never looked back...

Been bit by Enzo twice in the past three years, but both times were my fault...I was being lax on feeding proceedures and he was too impatient to differentiate between the rodent and me.

no but came prety close to being bit last week by my baby ball python last week when i went to change her water

Not yet!! I am hoping to never be but I hear it's inevitable if you breed! I have also heard that it is worse in your head and once you get bitten you realize it is no big deal!

got my first real full on adult BP bite yesterday, I did not get my hand out of her feeding encloser fast enough, honest mistake. not sure if she really needed to hold on for as long as she did, she fully wrapped me up and took her time, I eventually gently pryed her off with no real signs of aggression, she just wanted her rat faster then I could get it to her :)

No, never.:D

No, but my son has.
