It may be allowed ;)

BP could be Burmese python so why not a Boa :)

That's why I prefer to call them Royals !

i was bitten once by a baby honeybee i was checking out at an expo

it didn't hurt, but it did surprise me, as that was the first time i had ever been bit by one, and i had owned a BP for six years



i bought a baby silver streak a few months ago that struck at everything that moved, but she never connected

she has since grown out of that :gj:

My baby GHI didn't eat the first 2 months I had her but she would strike at anything that got close. When I opened her cage to clean/refill water she'd have the most evil look in her eyes and was always coiled, ready to strike. Once she started eating she became a sweetheart. Hasn't missed a meal since or shown any more signs of aggression.

My mother of my kids works at a pet store and out of all the snakes she is afraid of ball pythons!and she deals with a lot of them over her 6+ years there. The only snake to ever strike her working with them all the time and I'd say the least likely to strike. but go figure.

2100g female's feeder response. I thought she don't want the rat, aaaand I was wrong :rolleyes: Next time I'll search the forceps ;)

I'm just curious how often it is. I see people talking about it on these forums but I've never seen it happen in person. My sister in law has had one for over 10 years and it's been handled by dozens of people without ever biting a single person.

I just got me a young fella and he hasn't tried to bite me yet.

I was bitten once about one year ago by a juvenile normal 0.1 that I had purchased from Petsmart. The thing was that I agitated her while I was repeatedly trying to sex her when I first purchased her. I was using the "popping method" and I know it was because she had had enough. Totally my fault. :(

No but last night after I moved his home to check his uth (he was out of his hide) and put it back he like attacked at the glass (missed it) aimed where I was so I got him out an he was cool just wanted out of his enclosure. Really really loves being out. I'm going to upgrade his enclosure soon.

I'd rather take a ball python bite over a hamster bite any day.....
