Re: Howq often have you been bitten??
I only have one snake. I have never been bitten. I have only been hissed at once (he was blue getting ready to shed and I was going to feed him.) I threw the mouse out figuring that it would just sit there anyway.
Re: Howq often have you been bitten??
I have been bitten twice, once was when i was picking out a snake from a little, i ran my hand over it and the first to bit was the one i was gonna buy. and yes one bit me, haha. the other was one at petco, service there isnt the best so i helped my self into the bp's tank and pick one up i like and he bit me faster than anything. Almost bought him, but there way over priced.
Re: Howq often have you been bitten??
Never. "If" one of mine was to bite me it would be a corn, not a BP. Before I knew what I was doing, I should have been bitten alot for being so stupid, but I never was. Just lucky I guess.

I had one bad bite from my Macklott's when she was about 4". She coiled and wouldn't let go. My GTP tagged me a lot, but just quickly, never tried to eat my hand. Once quickly by a 110g female pastel, and a couple of weeks ago from my albino. Lizard bites are worse. I think my worst bite was from a juvi leopard gecko or veiled chameleon.

Yep sure was. My fault totally too. Brannagh was very defensive back then and I knew I could never hesitate when I was handling her or be less than fully confident and sure in my movements with her. I hesitated, she nailed me, it was no big deal and barely more than a couple of paper cuts. I'm so glad though we got Brannagh early in our keeping of snakes. She taught us all so much about dealing with a difficult adult safely and confidently.
Now of course she's a big old girl with a great attitude (and making with the nice nice with Riordan of course :D).

Re: Howq often have you been bitten??
I've only been tagged twice and both times it was a Burm. The first time ( about 15 years ago ) I was looking to buy a baby Burm and was going to buy it till it bit my thumb. Second time was about 6 months ago. A friend got a 4 footer and he said it was nasty so I went to check it out and he was right. It got me.
It didn't strike, I was holding him and he just turned his head and closed his mouth on my wrist.
