Re: Howq often have you been bitten??
Tagged once, but a new addition, a very head shy adult female. An under the paper snake. I peeked under the paper, and BAM!
Never happend again, and it was the most non monentous moment of my life. Cept it gave her a soft spot and now I tend to be more in awe when I handle her and wee how far she has come.

Well at first never, last 4 months about once a week. Somehow i picked up a nasty lil bugger and sometimes he is a lil faster then me. Hope he calms down some as he gets a lil older!
Re: Howq often have you been bitten??
i have 5 ball pythons. i have never been bit. gotten close tho! once i was fiddling in my pastel females cage doing some spot cleaning and i got too close to her hide and she struck but missed, my fault for not alerting her to my presence and donging around with a amubush predator!
now on the other hand if i do get bit i KNOW its going to be from my spider, she is the devil in snake flesh! she strikes at me from 5 feet away when feeding haha. but she is pretty mellow when i handle her. just gotta dodge the initial strikes lol.:snake::snake:
Re: Howq often have you been bitten??
Ive been taged by my pastel, right after i got him. And my sub adult spider at the time got me full blown - constricted and everything. Didnt hurt at all, bled like crazy though. You just have to stay calm and wait it out.

Re: Howq often have you been bitten??
Im a new BP owner and have never been bitten by my ball but I have been bitten by a couple wild snakes. (corn, chicken, ect.) What precautions can be made to prevent the occasional bite?
BTW "Chong" is only a little over a foot now.

Re: Howq often have you been bitten??
Not yet guy's 2 years and 12 bp's two of which are pretty aggressive and nothing. I think I'm just real careful with the ones that would try. My little lesser is a meanie , no bites yet but plenty of try's.
