    I've only been bitten once, when I stupidly reached too close during feeding. And he's still young so I didn't even feel it. He immediately detached and hid in a rock for a long while.

    Am I the only one who HASN'T been mistakenly bit or snapped at? My BP Dino is my first snake and he's never snapped at me. And trust me, I've given him the opportunity. I almost never wash my hands after handling their food. I'm kinda curious to see what it would take to get bit by him. Obviously a lot. i mean, I would have to handle a warm rat, dangle it in front of him, remove it from his box, and start wiggling my bare fingers at his nose for him to bite me. I'm kinda disappointed. :/

    POLL: Have you been bit by a BP?
    I haven't been bitten yet most my snakes has tried. My spider is out for blood but its just funny seeing a 700g snake be angry, considering when I got my carpet she was around 6.5 and would launch at me just for being in same area as her, but she's never gotten me an has stopped trying. I figure if I can avoid other animals hurting me I can avoid snakes doing it an so far it's worked.. I'm just damn crafty like a ninja or a cat.

    Just got bit tonight. Of course, I did wave a mouse over the cage and I got bit after I weighed Kanubis. He was hungry and it was just a strike.

    Got snagged by a tooth during feeding once but I don't consider that a bite. One of my Male Mojave's is a jerk and snaps every time I go for him but hasnt got me yet and calms down as soon as I get him out of the cage. My others are all little puppydogs.

    I was actually bit when I was handling my new ball python in the store. It was feeding day, and my nice and warm thumb was right in front of his mouth. It surprised me more than anything.

    Ive been bitten two times so far since ive had my bp, ive had him for about 7 months. I feed him in a box, so when hes in that box hes ready to go, and sometimes im not carefull enough when going around the box! Hes a crazy eater but hes such a sweet calm snake otherwise :)
