POLL: Have you been bit by a BP?

I haven't been bit yet but I have been struck at more than once. Twice today when I was feeding my pinstripe. My fault though, he was the 4th one to get fed and I smelled like food and the rat wasn't as hot as it should have been.

One of my ball pythons, Minnie, nailed my as I was taking her out of her shipping bag. That was her method of introduction.

Hahah interesting.. I was bit 4 times in my first 6 months of ball pythons. Then nothing...

ive been bitten on the wrist by a bp which he didnt mean to so i walked around the house till he learned i wasnt food, on the nose by a prego bull snake and on the lip by a juvie red tail boa :(

I have been chomped on by just about every snake in the US short of rattler, cotton mouth, and coral snake. Even copperheads have taken shots at me, though in fairness I did step on him.

Far as bp's go mostly by young'ins. But my big female normal missed her rat once and latched on between my index and middle fingers. And I still won't use tongs, just hard headed I guess. :D

I've never been bitten the three years I've handled BPs, but my previous normal female nearly tagged me one day when I was cleaning out her tank. I put her in a separate tub to keep her isolated in, and she happened to be peeking out over the edge, and reeled back to strike. I was able to get out of the way, but I figured I might have smelled like mice because I was handling one before I went to go clean her tank. Otherwise, I pride myself on handling tame BPs. :)

Been keeping bp's for almost 4 years, never been bit. My boas get me all the time, but never one of the balls.

Bitten once by my pastel the first week i got him, but he was verry small so it didn't hurt at all, did bleed tough...

As for other snakes, the garter snakes i had when i was a kid bit me all the time :D but i pretty much like to get bit by a snake:P certainly when they hang on and try to eat you :D

I have been bitten only once in the past two years of have BP. Currently have 8 and expanding. I've been struck at multiple times including at the neck :snake:. the time i got got was my fault cause she was shedding and mistook my hand for a tasty rats. I have one snake that struck at me almost every i open her enclosure. It all depends on your snakes personality.

I just got tagged for the first time lol. Wasn't bad and was my fault. Dropped the mouse while doing the zombie dance. When I went to pick it back up she nailed me lol.
