Yea it totally caught me off guard how powerful they truly are. I really have a stronger respect for them. But I still can’t wait for my BCI to get big lol she already has an insane feeding response so I can only imagine when she’s 8feet and big lol

As long as she don't use that feeding response on you, LOL !!! :P

The only painful bite I ever got was from a BCI ! She got me right between the thumb and forefinger. Her upper jaw was on top of my hand, lower jaw on the bottom. Her top teeth pierced a big vein on top of my hand and I had a golfball sized swelling of blood under the skin within literally seconds. The swelling went down within a day, but gosh, my hand was black and blue (then green and yellow) for 2 weeks. Plus I picked teeth out of itchy spots days later !!

That was a good one :(

Well none of the snake bites I've had over the years comes anywhere close to the pain of my old Hamster's bite when I foolishly put my hand in his bed when he wasn't moving :)

Yup! I would take a snake bite any day compared to a rodent bite. I've gotten smoked by one of the females in my breeder rack before and it was by far the worst animal bite I've ever gotten. She sunk in about 1/2" into my thumb muscle, WOW did that hurt.

That whole rumor about rats being able to eat through a steel drain pipe? I believe it.

Back when I took in rescues, I had to feed some of them "live" food before getting them to switch to F/T.

One time I went to a petstore that sold live feeders and asked for a medium rat.

O.M.G.!!

The next thing I hear is a scream and curse words flying and the associate comes running to the front of the store with blood running down his arm and dripping on the floor. The rat bit him and bit him HARD. Everyone started to run around and they ended up taking him to the Urgent Care since he was also feeling "faint" and needed a tetanus shot.

I was standing around contemplating whether it would be a good time to ask if I could get a the rat now...LOL.

Yeah those rodent bites are no joke. Back when I was working for petsmart I once had a hamster bite me in front of a customer. I ended up bleeding all over the paperwork. Part of what drew me to snakes in the first place
