The thing that does hurt, though, is your elbow from jumping back and hitting your funny bone on the corner or something...

funny stuff lol:rofl: so hard im :tears:

Being bitten is extremly shocking as opposed to the actual bite. Being bitten hirts like a 1, the shock of it is like a 7-8 even when you see it coming

lol thats the only reason im nervous sometimes when picking up snakes, is the striking motion, speciall the quick 1's wheres its all fast and your like wooooahhhh. but im sure the bite is nothing compared to other stuff.

From small snakes 1. For my bigger 6-7 footters 1-2. I was bit on the thumb once and it didn't hurt but my thumb swelled up.

This is a bite from my smallest snake I got. It's a young BRB. It happened about a week ago. I still got the bruise a little. It didn't really hurt. Just felt like a big pinch.

Thats a nice one. You almost got a perfect head shape. This is my best one so far, from last year...

I'd rather be bitten by a ball python any day of the week over being bitten by mosquitoes.

or a horsefly...

This is from a 7 foot boa, she nailed me good. It hurts for a few minutes, maybe a 2 or so but didn't last long at all.

Double post

Ball pythons bites are a 0.5 - 1 at best.

I was terrified of getting bitten at first, after my first I was like " THAT is what I was scared of ?"

Now I don't even flinch when one snaps at me.

A month ago at a show, a decent size pastel got me, I didn't even know it until 20 minutes later. I'm guessing the bite didn't hurt. :)
