how many people?

how many people here have been bit by at least one type of snake? what kind was it and how big? i imagine near everyone has, at least half.

i myslef have been bit by numerous garter snakes, one even latched onto me. ive also been bit by rex, my 2.5ft BP and hailey, who i think is probly around 20-25in.

I get bit by ball pythons almost every day. The more snakes you have and the faster you try and do things the more often you'll take some shots.

Took one in the wrist from a 8 foot boa at a friends house. Lots of other snakes too, mostly babies. Took a bite on the cheek once from a big old import female bp. I was trying to take her picture, guess she didn't like the idea.

Ive only been bit by my baby corn snake Ruby.And a baby burm at the pet store.

been bit by garters, my anery corn just about everytime i pic him up, and one of my bps

I haven't been bit by any herp yet. It'll come soon enough.

EDIT: I have however, been bitten by a horse, a dog, and my cat.

The horse bite left a huge bit and I screamed....I was not happy about that.

I have had herps since I was 10, never been bit.

wow. never been bit by any type of snake? not even a garter? i think you just cursed yourself lol

6 foot boa in the side, 2.5 foot bp in the hand.

The bp's bite wasnt bad at all, but the boa's drew a little blood.

Baby corns.. Bo my young cali king.. and an 8' burm that latched on for several minutes.

I have been bit twice by my 4ft long BP in the 6 months I have had her. Once was my fault because I was using hemostats that were too short for the rat dance and well lets just say ball pythons seem to have horrible aim. It drew some blood but was not horribly painful. The hardest part was for me to not pull away because I didn't want to damage her teeth.

I have been bitten by numerous garter snakes. Also took a hit from my big 4.5-ft. BP when I tried re-adjusting one of the rats he was being fed. Got hit by my BCI awhile ago too, because I got too close to his head while changing his waterbowl.
None of them hurt much, except Goblin tried constricting around me, and luckily I jerked away reflexively.
More of a shock than anything else.

Snake bites - I can't count that high.

Although I will say my most memorable bite came 2 years ago from an 18-lb Rhino iguana named Bulldozer. He grabbed the inside of my thigh & wouldn't let go for about 30 seconds. It put a HUGE bruise on my leg & I limped for a week.

Ouch! and people are afraid of SNAKES? lol

Yikes, Kara. I haven't been bit yet, but I've been musked several times.

Count me as one of the bitten. Fortunately it has only been by baby BPs. It is almost comical how ferocious a baby can act.

Man that looks like the iguana had canine teeth. Are you sure it wasn't a vampire in disguise Kara??

Dang, Kara that was quite a CHAWMP! he put on you! That hurts to even look at.

I've been tagged by quite a few - the bulk of them being black rat snakes which I used to find in abundance near my Granny's house when I was younger. But certainly a few of our own have taken their free sample ;)

Show off!!!! ..... :P .... Hey, wait a second ... is that bare Kara leg? :lol: ... kewl beans! .... LOL

Numerous garter snake's, several of which I purposely allowed them to bite me (hey, I was young and crazy then) couple times by corn and rat snakes. But the most memorable had to be a 7 foot Indigo that did not want to come out from under the couch.

Just my adult bp, and completely my fault. I used to get battered by iggys, but was never bitten by them, and have been bitten by countless cats and dogs and rodents.

MMM Lets see I have never been bitten by any hots, unless you count Arachnids.
I think I have been bitten too many times to count by snakes, But my Ripper (My prized Nile Monitor) took a nice chunk out of the side of my hand, had to be hospitalized andf it wasn't so much fun.
Thanks

Kara, you know everyone who owns Rhinos think they're "So Cute!!" untill they get cornerd by it..lol
They can be quite nasty IMO.

Just recently my 6 month old bp, Pelota, put two nice fang marks in my hand. I'm surprised it drew blood. She's still so small, lol. I've never seen her teeth(I try to get a peek while she's eating, but nope), but apparently they're sharp little things. Didn't hurt at all though. If I didn't see her strike at me real fast when it happened, I'd have never known. I'd have been like "where'd this blood come from?".

I had never been bitten until I got my carpet he is a quick little booger, didn't hurt though
