Re: POLL: Have you been bit by a BP?
I had a gravid female strike me when it was feeding time. She was off feed, but flew out of her tub like she hadn't ever eaten when I was swapping her water dish to a big bowl.
Hatchlings... need I say more? Everything is bigger than they are so everything is a defensive strike.

My Lesser male started nuzzling me a few times when he was first given to me. I knew he had a bit of an attitude plus they were maintenance feeding him like once a month or so. Knowing that, I was the only one who had the stones to handle and work with him which is why she gave em to me. Anyway, he nuzzled me which was confusing. So one time he actually opened up and mouthed my hand... Like a bite but no real teeth. Seemed like once he realize I was too big he backed off.
Another time he did the same but actually wrapped my hand up and fanged me as if he was feeding, held onto my forearm for about 10 seconds then let go but still constricted. I just watched em like "Zazu... Whatcha doin buddy?" Lol
Another one I got from her which I'm fostering now for the same reason, when I first went to pick up Zazu I was helping her clean tanks and she told me to watch out for Autumn, the fire killer bee, as she's become a rapid fire snapper. And sure enough, I went in to clean up and BAM she tagged my finger tip real good!
They've both been so much better since I brought them home and worked with them. Maybe environment, maybe the maintenance feeding... I mean ZAZU was 200g at almost 2 yrs old...crazy. But neither have snapped at me since being home in my rack.

Re: POLL: Have you been bit by a BP?
Out of all three of my BPs, I've only bit once, and it was mostly my fault. I found Echo in a Craigslist ad ($35 for a 3 year old BP + a 40 gal tank), and the girl I met with told me that she'd been having trouble feeding him. He was on live, and she had tried f/t, but it hadn't worked. And oh yeah! Make sure you put him in a separate tub for feeding time. Sure, sure. I'm not entirely sure what all she was doing, but she said he hadn't eaten in three months or so. He looked real thin when I got him, and when I went to feed him the first time, I think I let the rat cool down somehow, because Echo struck straight at my hand. It surprised us both. He did take the f/t rat and hasn't had any trouble eating since.

Re: POLL: Have you been bit by a BP?
I’ve had a couple of non-contact strikes from babies, but no actual bite. The closest was when my adult normal male was very anxious for dinner and lunged toward me when I was opening the cage door...luckily no contact on that one either.

Re: POLL: Have you been bit by a BP?
Years ago I had a baby ball named virtuous...he loved to bite me whenever I'd put my hand in his enclsure.
Whether it was to clean after a shed or feeding. Or trying to socialize with him he'd bite. So adorable though.
