POLL: Have you been bit by a BP?

Never been bit by my ball python or boa in the 3 years I've had them. My ball python has never even hissed really. The only thing that does bite me all the time is my crested gecko but that's not a real bite, lol. :laughing:

It almost happened tonight. I was feeding. I pre-scented the area and she went nuts as soon as I opened the tub. She came flying out of her hot hide and nailed the side of the tub. She just shed earlier this morning. She was hungry!! She is usually a pretty aggressive feeder anyways but nothing like she was tonight!

Yeah once, but it was nobody's fault. Over here in the UK we have a really annoying tradition called bonfire night, it's totally stupid. It scared the crap out of my boy and caused him to bite once when an explosion went off. Besides that, no. Luckily my darling is over bonfire night but it took him a couple of weeks to get over it. ( He would be a bit iffy at night, but if I stood outside his tub for a couple of minutes, he'd relax himself and I can take him out for handling - I no longer need to do this. )

Mine is too wobbly to bite someone. Seriously. If you are afraid of being bit, get a spider or something else that wobbles. She couldn't hit her target if her life depended on it. However, she never has tried. My last bp was just a big slug. He laid around and hardly moved. He didn't like being handled because anything that didn't involve sleeping was a major inconvenience to him. I don't think he even had the energy to kill a live rat let alone bite a human.

You want to talk scary bites? My other two snakes, mentioned in my sig, are absolute horrors :colbert:

In the over a year I've owned Zorah, she's never bit me. She struck at the glass once when startled and I moved past quickly, but never during feeding. Not sure if I'm lucky or just overly careful. Always been curious what it feels like.

I haven't yet. I kinda want it to happen just to get it over with and know what I'm in for.

Well I voted too soon :P lol Valentine welcomed me to the bite club just now.
She shed early morning and was extra hungry definitely due to a misssed feeding while in shed. It did hurt a bit but more startling... their little teeth are like razor sharp fish teeth that hook in. Turned out to be very comical for my boyfriend and I... a few obsecneties later we are all at peace again lol! I just kept thinking to myself don't let her wrap!!! Would have been difficult to pry her off lol needless to o say she gobbled the rat down in a frenzy.

Yes, a nippy little super pastel got me good every time I opened him up for a few months.. little jerk was really handsome though so I let it slide. 😂

Damn tree dwellers will bite without hesitation haha.

I've been tagged by almost all of my snakes. Most of my balls are still young so it's nothing to worry about. My boas have bit me the most though. And the Kenyans, well their bite is laughable.
