What goes THROUGH your mind AFTER BEING BIT BY YOUR BP?
Because Ummmm I'll be getting one soon and I've seen some bite the owners. lol I mean does it hurt? Do you freak out or panic? What do you do? How do you get it to release? Any horror stories?
Re: What goes THROUGH your mind AFTER BEING BIT BY YOUR BP?
I usually hope they didn't break any teeth and can still eat without a problem. Lol but normally I just stop to think if I sanitized my hands before I got tagged or do I still smell like rat before going to the next tub.

i got my 1st bite yesterday. the 1st that came to mind after was how it would feel if the snake was bigger

Not from a ball python... They have tiny teeth.
What are you afraid of? Most of the members on this forum think ball python bites are comical because they are so minor, mostly just annoying. None painful and the bleeding stops within minutes.
I think a paper cut or a scratch from my cat would hurt much worse. If you can handle a paper cut you can handle a good chewing from a BP.

I usually yell at them and ask "seriously", and then I move on. It makes me mad at myself because it is generally from me doing something stupid or careless.
Re: What goes THROUGH your mind AFTER BEING BIT BY YOUR BP?
I've only been tagged a few times, but after the fact, I always marvel at how FAST they are...by the time I realized I'd been bit, the snake is right back where it was before it struck at me...except when they think I'm dinner...:colbert:.

99% of ball python bites really do hurt less than a paper cut or cat scratch. Way less, because they don't tend to get infected.
The 1% exceptions are the true latch-and-wrap bites. Those generally only happen when an animal is HUNGRY, and THEN you made a major feeding error. Both of which are almost certainly your fault... but if that happens, stick a pencil or pen between their jaws: they'll let go almost immediately.
