BP Bites

[Ken]

Ok, I've been bitten by colubrids (wc - mostly garters) but I've never been bitten by a BP. (I know they rarely bite). But some of you must have been been bitten. Let's hear your stories!

It's not bad. It just feels like a sticker... it stings for a minute and bleeds a little. It scares you more than anything.

It is definatly the "shock value" with being bitten, not so much the pain (with BP's).
The first snake bite I recieved was a 9 ft common boa, just a wack as a warning, scared me more then anything! But not so much pain, just a bit of irritation. Now the 5 foot nile monitor bite me that one hurt..lol

I got bit and constricted by a baby bp. Feeding error, lol. Got me on the knuckle, and her teeth as super long. It hurt real bad. Had a good deal of blood too.

I have to pry it off. And they are very strong. My baby female is strong enough to out muscle my hand.

I have never been bit but have come very close once. It was my mistake even if Jojo did bite me although he didnt. It was feeding time and i dropped the mouse in the tank i reached in to remove the cold side hide so he can have some room to eat and he thought my hand was the mouse because it smelled like it and it was warm. He struck very hard and hit me with his nose. I think he realized at the last second what i was but it scared me to death.
