Re: POLL: Have you been bit by a BP?
Man if I had to count the number of times I have been bit, I would need a lot of fingers and toes to do so! ;)
Re: POLL: Have you been bit by a BP?
In seven years of owning snakes I thought I would never be bitten. This past weekend I was at an expo holding a female mojave and went to put her back when her brother got me. First bite ever! I was so shocked. It didn't hurt but just shocked me completely. It defiantly made me not buy one though. I know hatchlings can be bitty but I have the best relaxed ones right now and would rather not bring home a turd.
Re: POLL: Have you been bit by a BP?
I have been tagged and or bitten several times over the years. Knock on wood that none of the bites have come from one of my adult BPs or my adult blood python or red tail boa! I think that would definitely leave a mark.
Re: POLL: Have you been bit by a BP?
With the amount of snakes I have and handling every day I am surprised I have not been bit yet. I do have a snarley pastave who likes to hiss and strike but knock on wood I have not been tagged yet. And my wife who now has her own snake after years of being afraid of them, has done everything wrong so far and her snake Bo as she calls him (helmet head) as I refer to him takes it all in stride. He is a 220 gram lesser with a very high feed instinct and the aim of a drunken one armed blind man and even when she has put her hand in with him and a mouse he has still never even mistaken her for the mouse. I will update you on who is bitten first though, most likely will be me lol
Re: POLL: Have you been bit by a BP?
At this point no, I have never been bitten. I take mine out with a hook to avoid putting my hand in the tub. From my own experience and talking to a lot of people that is where you are going to get bit if it happens. My male mojave is super food aggressive, if one of them is going to bite me, I am pretty sure it will be him!
Re: POLL: Have you been bit by a BP?
My adult male fire bit me once, well..... TRIED to at least!
When I got him, the first day he spilled his water bowl, and as i was trying to change it, he "bit" my hand, I was shocked, didn't except it at all! Since my only other bite came from a juvenile milksnake and there was a fair amount of blood from it even though i didn't feel it, I was expecting horror when i looked down at my hand..
however, there was nothing there, he didnt leave a mark at all, he didn't break the skin, NOTHING....
so he then got the name Toothless :D
Re: POLL: Have you been bit by a BP?
