Does your snake ever bite or strike?

I've had Gengar (my ghost stripe corn snake) for 8 months now and he hasn't even tried to bite me.

Its kind of funny I stumbled across this thread. Leaving on a vacation tomorrow and needed to feed my BP before I left(since my wife won't feed). My snake is normally very shy and timid, its only been 7 days since his last meal. As soon as I went to move his hide that he favors he came right out and went into strike position. I removed my hand and he took a strike at the glass. I gave him a few minutes and he calmed down and then proceeded on with getting him out and fed. I suppose that was my fault for smelling like food, even tho I had just washed my hands. No bite yet tho.

It pretty much depends on the personality of the snake. Most of mine have never bitten me and probably never will. A few will bite me because they have such a powerful feeding response and get carried away. A relatively small number are just very timid and frightened animals who will bite defensively and just want to be left alone.

Well, I got my first BP bite today. One of the yearlings nailed me during feeding. He had wrapped his mouse ok, and I was checking him later to make sure he'd really eaten it and not just left it, which he's done. He had eaten and was still hunting, and I put my hand up to block him as he tried to leave the tub. He struck, I swore, then I flipped him another mouse which he chased to the back of his tub and wrapped.

Mines strike and bite rats......

Okay...I am new to this site (relatively) and have never posted a poll; therefore, I didn't know what I was doing lol. I probably would have worded/constructed it a little differently. No biggie. I guess I am just kinda lucky huh? My snake has never ever shown any bit of aggression towards me, even when hungry.

I've only been tagged twice by ball pythons.

No big deal :P

Mine are all hiss no bite. Only time I'm ever even hissed at is when I have to do something with their setup while they're in shed.
