She tried to eat me! =O

[Snake Dave]

Hey everyone

I had my 2 1/2 year old female Royal (Ball) out earlier for about 10 minutes, just to handle her and check her over. So she was fine for most of it, but she's a pretty lazy girl anyway, so her movement wasn't excessive. So towards the end she became pretty interesting in the hand that was holding her.

So she moved towards it, licked it ferociously, then opened her mouth to see if I was edible lol!

I could almost see it coming, that bit of pressure they apply before biting lol. She let go, but I just laughed lol. So I had her out for a few more minutes, then put her back.

Has anyone else's Python done this? Let me know

All the best

No but I sometimes do that to my girlfriend....lol

[LadyOhh]

I've only been bitten when they are pissed off.


If you think she was biting you cause she was hungry, I would suggest feeding her

This is a child-friendly website! =O

I'm ashamed...

LOL!

Anyway, on a more serious note. I would guess that she is hungry She missed her feed last week (I feed her once a week on a Saturday), I think that was due to the fact that she took the biggest dump two days later... Seriously huge. Now that she's 'empty', maybe she'll eat.

If not, then I'll assume she's going on her fast. If you think it's something more sinister, then tell me. But I doubt it, I'll just continue to feed her.

I don't think it was an agressive/defensive move, as if it was she'd have struck first, which is what she does to her prey (I strike-feed; basically dangling the rat by its tail with a giant pair of forceps lol). She's probably just hungry and wanted to give me a try

Cheers for the replies anyway

What can I say, I'm like a dog that likes chew toys

Mine has done this a few times now. Last week he drew blood. Only a pin pricks worth of blood for each tooth, but it was still blood. And he's only 4-5 months old..

lol, thats funny. Yea, Ive had it happen to me- only it was during feeding time, and I was showing my boyfriends mom Rin and Jack feding, because Rins on medium rates now, and I put them both in the shoe boxes (Thats what they eat in, if you havent figured it out lol), and all of the sudden Rins head bolted out side of the little hole on the lid- and then she was stuck. lol. It was funny though- she thought I was food. lol
