    What's the smallest snake that we can own that doesnt hurt when they bite

    it doesn't hurt when my adult solomon islands bite me, but i do bleed because their teeth are super super sharp. I'm sure it wouldn't feel good if one of them got me right where my fingernail meets my finger, but its really not a big deal. They only tend to lash out if i startle them.

    You may be looking at the wrong kind of pet...Ball Pythons seem to be as harmless as it gets. Unless you smell like food or get in their way when they're hunting of course.

    Thread snakes, like the Brahminy blind snake. But you have to feed them ant pupae.

    I don't thin k you would have a problem with a ball python.

    Kenyan sand boas are interesting littlte snakes.

    I've been tagged by an adult corn snake & two ball pythons... none of the bites actually hurt, and only left a tiny mark. I can't say what else hurts more or less, since those are the only snakes who've bitten me - but I wouldn't say either are a threat to ya. ;)

    cool! thanks so much! i just wanna know. i have very good tolerance of pain, its just that, who really wanna get hurt right? lol! anyway, i'm glad you replied, i'm just concerned about the fact that maybe my ball python would tag me and i'll be like in sooooo much pain that i would have to hurt the snake just to get it off me. :( if that's not that painful, then i can remove him safe n sound. lol :D

    When they bite, they usually don't hang on. If it's a feeding response maybe, but not likely from a ball python. Use a long set of tongs(12" or so) to offer food items. Keep your hands clean!
