Nailed by a GTP
Today I went to spot clean in the GTP enclosure. I was holding him on his branch while I cleaned and decided to take some pictures while he was out. I slowly put him back into his enclosure and boom he bit me. After all the years I have had ball pythons, never been bit. This little feisty thing got me today! haha

"Who said you could move MY branch!?" :snake2: LOL
He's awfully pretty, I'd be nice to him...

Re: Nailed by a GTP
Nice. How deep did it go? Ive always wondered what it would be like to be bit by one.

Not that bad, almost like cat scratches.

You could probably avoid a bite like this in the future if you use long tongs & drape a small cloth/towel over him right before you pick up his branch.
At least that's what I'd do, not that the bite is serious or anything...I'd just rather avoid it. (in case he breaks off a tooth in ya!)

Cool. I always compared my old BPs bite to Bass Thumb

I tried this and he kept biting at the tongs and then biting at the cloth. Didn't want him to hurt himself. Oh well

Re: Nailed by a GTP
Beautiful snake, but he definitely seems to be giving you the evil eye. Glad it wasn’t too bad...maybe that was his way of claiming you. ;)

I've heard they can get bitey, but man, they are so gorgeous! Editing my post because I didn't see the second picture! OUCH! Guess he's having a cranky day?
-
Ouch! Yeah he does look pretty upset in those pictures! Wonder if he woke up on the wrong side of the branch this morning? It's funny how snakes don't have real facial expressions but you can still tell their moods by their faces sometimes
-
He's just a extra feisty one lol. And I can tell some when he's about to bite, but sometimes it's just random. I only hold him if I HAVE to. Hes my beautiful display snake :)
