My big crazy Norma nailed me tonight as I was taking her out of her tub.

She's hungry all the time and I guess she mistook my hand rolling up her papers for a rat.

I've got 2 little dots and it was only enough for me to say "Norma, you psycho !"

:D

Just got bitten three more times today twice by one hatching but i was feeding her by holed the hopper lol so my fault and once by my female pastel whom i just fed and put her water bowl and house back in she is a moody one any ways gotten hit by her the last two feelings she weighs 300 grams

Never been bitten by a pet/captive bred snake. I've been bitten by wild Garters before as my dad, brothers, and I always went to the local wetlands to catch them for fun (and immediately release them after we held and looked at them for a few minutes). Misheld a large one once and it turned around and bit me.
I was afraid my new little baby was going to bite me 2 nights ago when I was going to take him out but I backed off for a minute and then went in and scooped him up from underneath and he was fine.
I would not like to be bitten by an adult BP, lol.

Have yet to bitten by any snake thus far in my life @_@;; *knockonwood*
I've been around them plenty growing up, but have only owned one myself barely a week. My old roommate had a Burmese python he would NEVER take out because she was notorious for biting.


Bitten by plenty of other critters though XD
Hamsters so far have been the stingiest, and the most difficult for me to hold still through so as not to accidentally flick the poor guy into something.

I've had 2 balls for about a year and a half, never been struck at or bit. I'm sure it will happen someday tho!:banana:

I have never been bit, I have been struck at though. My wife on the other hand got bit by our mojave when she was a baby.

I've never been bitten by my personal snakes, but at work we have two 20+ year old normals bps.... Lole is fine, but Lola loves striking. She was found in Florida as a "wild" snake and has never settled down completely. Lole has had shedding problems his whole life and retains his eye scales fairly often. This causes him to strike out of confusion. Once we soak him and remove the scales he goes back to being the nicest snake ever haha

I polled No the other day, just popped my bite cherry today changing the water lol, surprised the heck out of me. (got my left hand on the side) I was shuffling the substrate, and wham. Glad he didn't decide to stay on hahahaha.

I'm amazed at this thread. It has been going for over FOUR years now! There have been many threads that die and get repeated here over and over and for some reason, this thread just keeps going and going and going.....:confuzd:

I'm thinking it is because we are talking about what people fear most about snakes - being bitten. I've yet to read that anyone here has been seriously injured (even the guy bitten in the eye), but will admit that I have not read every one of the posts. It is just too long. So, for new bp owners, this thread should demonstrate that the biggest fear, really isn't that much to worry about.

My worst experience with a BP is when I was vending a show and a buyer asked me to pop a snake. My face was too close and when I popped the snake, it squirted urine in my eye. That was much more painful and discussing than being bitten. It was also great entertainment for the customer, my wife and anyone else who was standing around. :pee: I didn't find it near as amusing. :irkd:

Never been bit by a BP, but have been mock struck at quite a few times when I worked at a Petco. At first it was nerve racking to experience this cause I didn't know what was going on then eventually found it annoying or cute depending on how many annoying customers came my way that day. Been bit by my California King snake and Tangerine Milk snake though. I have pics of the Cali king attempting to swallow my finger(which will get posted eventually). :)
