HAHA you know it's love when....

You get bit at work by one of your favorite snakes and you just stand there and go "awwww you brat... that was cute" and smile while you have blood running down your middle finger standing there. I know he only bit me because I was not playing attention to him but was standing there talking to my buddy who I work with. ;) What can I say... the little guy gets a tad bit jealous when I take my attention off of him. :P :oops:

I love those crazy insecure babies....
They sure do keep me in a good mood, in check, and on my toes!

I have not been tagged yet myself. but I do know it hurts! My 14 yr old daughter got bit by my redtail after we first got him (she was about 6) and she FREAKED! Of course...I would have also! lol.

Sorry but no pics... I wasn't home where my camera was. :(

Also MeMe getting bit really doesn't hurt. It's their quickness that shocks you the most. Bleeds a bit but doesn't really hurt. Getting a paper cut is a lot worse then getting bit by a BP.

lol. paper cuts kill!!! I hate them!

So do I!!!

Gee your no fun! We demand you go back and let him bite you again and take a camera :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rofl: :rofl:

ok but next time we want pics! ;)

I think the first rule of owning a snake is to ALWAYS have your camera handy for those precious moments :eek: lol.

that may be cute, but getting bit by a ferret (like I did at work today 3 times. See if i give him water next time) makes me want to thump it in the head. Maybe I should stick to snakes. The only snake I've been bit by is a snippy corn snake we have at work, and he didn't even break the skin.

My son, when about 18 months old, bit me while I was not paying attention, and I scruffed him. Force of habit. Hehe...

WHAT?!?!?! :hmm:

We have ferrets. When bitten by one (rare, usually when they are babies), I scruff the back of their neck to get them to let go. I do it calmly, without even thinking, and it is no big deal. When my child bit me, I reacted by trying to "scruff" him.

That said, I have also found myself absent-mindedly swaying and rocking our python (like as if to sooth a baby).

I have not been bitten by any snake other than a baby garder. I was witness to a huuuuuge snake yawn last night, though!

ahh...now I get it! thanks for explaining ;)

Sounds funny; most people would just freak out.. I guess it is just something you get used to.. it comes with "the territory." :)
Nope, a quick, defensive bite doesn't hurt.. but I would definately urge people to be cautious.. not too long ago, one of my females bit onto and started constricting my thumb. I had to have my fiancee peel her off gently; she was not going anywhere, and my thumb was quickly turning reddish purple.
Just a friendly reminder that, while a quick bite hurts nothing but your pride, they are not harmless!
