Re: POLL: Have you been bit by a BP?
My ball, Lucy, has tagged me at least 4 or 5 times. She's tried and missed a lot more than that. Her aim is terrible because she's only a baby. She's aimed for nearly everyone's faces, except for my boyfriend's. She's even seen my cats and dogs at a fair distance and tried to tag their faces, too. She's a feisty little one, but needless to say she's a fairly good feeder with that additude!

It wasn't that at all, but I agree. It didn't make me nervous or anything, just weirded me out. It's why I got it out of the way. Been tagged plenty in the past. Just had to remind myself it's not that bad.

Most of my new balls were all pretty fired up from being shipped so today when I got home to see them all for the first time (My Fiancee opened the box and put them in their bins when I was at work) I had to inspect them all for myself and I got bit by the Spider, Enchi, Pinstripe and the Lemon Blast lol.

Really! I'm having problems posting because I have the flu! I was just going to say my ball python's mouth can't open wide enough to properly bite me. He just bonks me.

The only time I got bit was when I accidently dropped a plastic lid on my ball python. She does have a habit of biting veterinary assistants though.

I think with alot of younger bps is where the biting happens I have two females a fire and a coral glow still around 300 grams that both bite me whenever they get the chance and have most my other 19 never bite, its all on individual snake

Re: POLL: Have you been bit by a BP?
I have been bitten once. :cool: It was definitely my own fault. I went to remove the bowl that is used as her hide. Well like a dummy I grab the bowl from the hole that she enters the hide and as soon as my finger went in it came right back out!! :colbert: I had two pinpricks on my index finger. Didn't hurt a bit but really wasn't expecting it lol. Like I said all my fault. I had only had her for about 3 weeks so she wasn't used to me. My first ball python (Chaos) I have had for three years has not bitten me once or even remotely moved towards me aggressively.
