I couldn't have picked a better "first bite" myself.
Y'know, you rescue them and spoil them and get them feeling all better ... and this is how they re-pay you:

I'm actually really happy with him because he POOPED! ON HIS OWN! I was cleaning his tank, so I put him around my neck. Just as I was about to put him back in he latched on to my bra and decided he was NOT getting off. When I pushed the matter, he bit me. :rolleyes: He's really hungry - I know that's what started it. He's sick and grumpy and hungry and just generally not feeling well. Poor guy.
Anyway, that was my initiation to bite club, and I couldn't have picked a better first bite myself! :P

I like to yell at my snakes until I realize they don't have ears. Oh and I'll match your ball python neck bite and raise you an adult Jungle Carpet Python neck bite:

I have a 2800 gram mojave on my neck and i just open your post.........I'll be right back......gotta put her back in the rack LMAO! :) :)
Re: I couldn't have picked a better "first bite" myself.
:OYikes.... Ki bit me for the first time ever on my knee. Lucky little booger only got me with one tooth so there was only one tooth in my leg. Thank goodness I say. I would rather his teeth be in his mouth. I'm glad there was minimal damage..
Re: I couldn't have picked a better "first bite" myself.
LOL we're all awesome here. I gotta admit I'm a little jealous of the carpet bite. That one looks purdy. :P
My roommate walked out while I'm sitting on the computer, waiting for the snake to let go (I figured he had to eventually...) and he stops dead in his tracks and his eyes bug out and he goes, "Is he biting you? Doesn't that hurt?" :rolleyes: I said, "Well, yeah - a little. But he'll be done in a second. It's not THAT bad."
They just don't understand... :P

I don't think mine lost any teeth over this. I was really careful not to move around while he had a hold of me. When he let go I could feel (and hear - ew) them pop out of my skin.

Aww! Its so hard to get mad at our babies isn't it? >_< ooch... that looked like it hurt so bad... and it bleeds FOREVER!

Yeah I got a little worried when he first bit me because my adrenaline instantly kicked in so I was feeling kinda light headed from all the adrenaline/blood rushing. He bit me while I was 'hugging' him. He was a very 'mobile' snake and I tried to get him to wrap around my arm for a moment and didn't like how I had him so he bit me out of defense...I miss that snake :(
Re: I couldn't have picked a better "first bite" myself.
My heart started beating a little faster when mine bit me, but I didn't get light-headed. He's not that big after all. But I think he got excited when he could feel my pulse speed up because he bit down harder and doubled up on his coils. I just thought to myself, "oh poop..." -lol-
Re: I couldn't have picked a better "first bite" myself.

LOL thanks, Pat.
Re: I couldn't have picked a better "first bite" myself.
Congradulations!!! That is a fantastic first bite. I would have to print that one out and frame it in the snake room...
Re: I couldn't have picked a better "first bite" myself.
Does you rat/mouse perfume come in a spray?
Re: I couldn't have picked a better "first bite" myself.
That would suck, the neck wow!!! did you make like a sudden movement that scared him/her? Cool pics tho :gj: nice job on not freaking out and just sitting there haha

No, sorry. It's my own special line - formulated here at home from my rats' urine. "Eu d' Rat" is not for sale. :P
And no, I didn't make any movements that scared him. He just didn't want to get off me, and when I grabbed at his tail he whipped around and tagged me. The worst part was that I was actually looking in the mirror while doing this (I always have to so that I don't twist them around the wrong way) and I could TELL he was going to bite me. Y'know how you can just read them after knowing them for a while? Well, I can read mine and I KNEW he was going to do it. I said out loud, "Please don't bite me until I get you off my neck." and right then was when he did it, the stinker. I wish I had a photo of my face when he struck. It wasn't surprise or shock or pain or anger. It was, "Yup... just great." -lol-
Re: I couldn't have picked a better "first bite" myself.
that's too funny! I''ve never had one stay latched on for more than a split second....I'm jealous (which proves I am sick in the head I think)
today my ball managed to botch a feeding strike and ended up biting himself in the neck. he was stuck, too.....I had to go in there and unhook his top teeth from his hide. no blood though and he ate like a champ within seconds.
you know you're a herper when....you think biting is adorable!
Re: I couldn't have picked a better "first bite" myself.
Aww, fishmommy! Your poor snake! I hope he's okay. That's gotta be worse than biting your tongue and we all know how bad THAT hurts. :( Poor little guy.
Re: I couldn't have picked a better "first bite" myself.
I'm still waiting on my first tag....there was one close one, but didn't make. Nice Hicky!
