POLL: Have you been bit by a BP?

[catawhat75]

Figures that after I answer this poll no, one of my hatchlings struck at me.

Haven't been bit yet, but I am sure eventually it will happen. Everything pretty much has the potential to bite you.

[Jasnik]

Yes : as you can see from my other thread.
But I think I have come to conclusion I was really unlucky.
Ball Python bit in the only soft part of my hand lots and lots of blood.
As the ball Python would just not let go and my hand round my thumb is all bruised blue now .Its actualy painful to move the thumb.
He was in a feeding frenzy.

Oh well hope it never happens again.

Hubby got a pretty good bite from our 5' female. It was very odd, she didn't strike at all. She was running her nose along his wrist, and just opened her mouth and closed it around his wrist.

He was so surprised, we'd had her for several years and she'd never offered to bite before. I talked to him, telling him not to freak out, while I pried her off one tooth at a time.

It shook him up pretty good, but by the next day you could barely see the mark.

Almost got bit in the face tonight by a super cinny...Mr.calico will have to talk some sense into her maybe?

my 4500 gram female got me a couple weeks ago. i've been bittin allot but that was the worst so far.

Yep, countless times by now by babies and one of my sub-adults. Not one single bite has brought blood (so far). However, my hubby has been bit as well, and the snakes always seems to get him in a place that bleeds. LOL I've come to love the biters, though. They all seem to be good feeders!

Knew a girl that got bit by her ball python when she was pregnant . . . she freaked out and went to the emergency room. I was thinking to myself, "Geez, panic much?" If it were a venomous species, I could understand it, but a ball python?! Gimme a break.

I have a Pastel sub-adult who bit and released. It really wasn't bad. Their teeth are so sharp that it isn't terribly painful. It was 100% my fault too. I saw the S and knew he was feeling stressed and I reached in anyway and he let me know that he didn't appreciate it one bit!

YUUUUUUP. I made my nippy baby spider bite me just to see how bad it was. just felt like needle pricks for a quick second. blood came to the surface but no real pain, but just recently my adult female pastel got my good in the forearm. that one hurt on impact. more blood than pain. then the area got bruised (next day) from impact i guess. other than the initial bite, i didnt feel anything after. I dont hold my pythons as much as i should , so they dont really like to be touched. I'm sure regular handlings would settle them down tho.... it was fun
