POLL: Have you been bit by a BP?

It's usually the juveniles. No worse than a paper cut or when a kitten grabs a hold of your finger.

My corn would bite me all the time as a baby, too bad my daughter with two teeth can bite harder so who cares, And my normal BP hit me the other day during feeding. Lesson of the day longer tongs! :)

I dont use tongs. I use tweezers to pick the teeth out lol.

My juvenille male bp has been a little bitey lately. He hasn't drawn any blood or anything and the bites aren't a feeding response or defensive or aggressive strikes. Infact they aren't even strikes, when I'm holding him and he slithers up my arm he tries to bite my right bicep. Its always the same spot and this just started recently. Can anybody think of a reason why he might be doing this?

Apparently your right bicep smells like a rodent lol

had a hatchling and it bit me once and tried a 2nd time. However that was the only bp that has ever bit/tried to bite me. No blood was drawn and it really felt more like a poke lol

Only time I have ever come close was with Corn's... Adults and babies.. Sorry but I see no point in corns lol. They are never happy at least the ones I have ever seen.

Oh yeah I had a grass snake bite Me when I was a kid haha I guess that's what you get for collecting a trash can full of them.

The local petstore has a corn, I wanted to see it so I moved its hide... It struck the hide several times haha I'm sure he was stressed but man.

IMO the only good Corn is someone else's haha

i have been bitten several times we have a pissy 100% het albino that likes to tage me when i get him out. :mad: we have several different kinds of snakes (corns, bps, bearded dragons,redtail columbian boas,leopard geckos , frogs cats, dogs, ferrets, and horses.) the worst to be bite by is horses and bearded dragons.:taz:

Mine once bit me 3 times in one day...

I have been bit by my my ball python when he just finished eating and i waited a bit before i removed him from his feeding tub but he still struck. He was just still in a feeding mode and i don't blame him! And then of course i got struck at a lot by my baby ball python because they are very timid at a younger age. But with all snakes, it's not a matter of if you will be bit, it's a mater of when you will be bit.
