POLL: Have you been bit by a BP?

Not by any of mine.

Need to change my answer to yes on the pole, got bit by my little baby about a week ago! ALOT more shock then pain haha, fast little guy!

Cant blame him! baby and just got him the day before and then found out the racks I got were bad was a very stressful night for all of us :(

Not yet...but with 3 there just might be the possibility of it happening.

Up until Saturday, I would have said "Never and I've had Ball Pythons for over a year." I've had snakes off and on since I was 14 (now almost 22). I have never been struck at or bitten by any of them.

But Saturday.. stupid me tried dangling a f/t mouse for my little Enchi and silly goose missed the mouse and got mommy's thumb. So! I got my first bite ever by the smallest snake I have. You can't even tell I was bitten now lol.

And to top it off, he didn't even end up eating the mouse. Poor little guy must have been so upset with himself for biting me. :P

EXACTLY how I felt when my little Ludo tagged me on Saturday. I said, "Ow!" and threw my hand back but it really didn't even hurt. I was just so surprised lol. Then I went around showing everybody because it was my first bite ever.

I had a Ball Python (sweetest thing ever) for over ten years and now have four new little ones. I was proud, up until today, to say that I had never been bit by a Ball Python. WELL, today was my day of initiation into the "I've been mauled by a BP" club :P. The kicker? The culprit was a baby Ball Python at Petco; dang thing wasn't even mine!! *Oh well*. For those who have never experienced it, I honestly had to replay the incident in my head to believe that I did, indeed, actually get bit - it felt like a safety pin lightly grazed my finger.

We have had Snickers over 2 and a half years now and Snickers finally bit my boyfriend.(but it was his own fault!) about 6 months ago.

We feed Snickers F/T prey with a 'grabber' and about 6 months ago he accidentally dropped the rat from the grabber before Snickers could strike at it and then before we could pick it up again with the grabber Snickers crawled on top of it and stayed there.(no constricting)

Eventually after waiting for Snickers to climb off the rat my boyfriend go fed up and had the brilliant idea of picking Snickers up off the rat with his hand and then starting over.

Even though Snickers had never bitten either of us I knew Snickers was in feeding mode and told him not to!

Sure enough I was right and the instant he stuck his hand in to move Snickers he got bit. Snickers instantly recoiled back after realizing it wasn't prey and did eventually eat the rat later that night when we were able to pick it up with the grabber again.

Moral of the story....

Listen to your significant other if he/she has more common sense then you do!:)

P.S. The bite hurt him for a few hours but by the next day there was no pain.
