First Python Bite!

Just thought I'd share that I just received my first ball python bite about 10 minutes ago. I was feeding all my snakes when my smallest corn snake thought my finger was its pinkie so I thought to myself that I've been bitten by small corn snakes before but never any of my ball pythons. So I rubbed a rat on my arm and put it in front of my biggest ball...only 500 grams...and let him get a taste of me. Not was I was expecting but I'm glad i have that fear out of the way now.

I'm really curious .. was it worse or less than what you expected? Loli also have one b.p and three corns no bites yet from anyone.. lol but its almost like the anticipation is killing just to get it out of the way too lol

Welcome to the club haha :P

Pics or it didnt happen.

Good thing I took pics then haha, I'll post them tomorrow. It hurt less than I expected, much more afraid of getting stung by a bee or a wasp .

had my first bp about 8 months now, havent had that happen. hoping it doesnt, but if it does i heard it aint to bad.

Just do what I did to get it over with.

I've had corns and a king bite me, but no pythons so far.

the king was the craziest. she was constricting my whole hand. lmao.

Welcome to the club haha! Now itll be 10 times nicer now that youve gotten it out of the way. After i got bit for the first time i gained alot of confidence handling all snakes.

I'm 90% sure this was a typo but I still can't help but read it as if you're addressing yourself as Loli :rofl::rofl:

Now that's it has a taste for human flesh it won't stop until it eats you :)

I'm not 100% sure it counts when it's self induced :rofl:

X2 pics or it didnt happen :)
Waiting patiently till tomorrow :rolleyes:

here yall go

Dang! That is one intense bite! Did you go to the emergency room after that? If something that terrible happened to me I would leave the hobby. Can't believe you would cause that kind of harm to yourself :colbert: Hahaha

I have been tagged by more corns then I care to count.... Never met one I liked haha

My lesser has spun on me few times and finally got me this morning lol

I could hand feed our fostered retic

But I would never of thought about scenting myself to provoke. A bite haha

After my burm got a hold of me once, the corns and BPs don't scare me at all. I have got it from a couple corns at feeding time but the BPs have always had great manners. Knock on wood! Oh great now I'm gonna get it!

I'm getting really scared now. i know that a 500 gram ball python can rip my arm off and eat it.

Hahahahahaha I have got to see this! :rofl:

at least it was a 500 gram and not a 1500 gram python, lol! my dad got bit by my female and he was pulling teeth out of his hand for the next week. i have gotten bit a few times but i agree that i am still more terrified of those fat bees that fly around outside XD

My first snake bite experience was by a Dumerils Boa!
Then it followed by baby ball pythons, baby jungle carpets, and baby green trees!
Strange thing is my snake has never bitten me. Well at least not yet!
Like everyone else has been saying welcome to the snake bite club!
