POLL: Have you been bit by a BP?

[JordanAng420]

My ball python is super mellow and has never once showed any signs of aggression.

My brazilian rainbow boa, however, strikes at me every chance she gets. She actually tried to wrap and swallow my thumb once.

I just wanted to edit my last post.

I must have cursed myself.

My ball has suddenly become evil, and developed an extreme hatred for my right hand.

I've been struck at by mine (after handling mice, it was my own fault), but he's got horrible, horrible aim and he only scraped me with one tooth. I don't consider that a bite...so I said no.

I was holding one of my babies showing a freind what I produced. He was just chilling in my hand wrapping around it wandering so I wasn't realy paying attention and just talking to my friend. all of a suddon I feel something on my index finger and see a the ball has wrapped his entire mouth ( I'm 6 foot 3 and it was a 65 gram ball ) around my finger and was just hanging there. didn't hurt was funnier then hell to tell you the truth. this 65 gram ball only attached by his bite around my finger, the rest of him hanging completely!!

Yes I’ve been bit by baby ball pythons, but never by adults.

My normal BP has never bit me or even lashed out at me, but I've only had him for like 2 weeks... I've had two garters and neither of them ever lashed out or bit, although one did musk me once... I did have a female normal BP at a reptile store attempt to strike me but she ended up just smashing her head against my hand (her teeth never grazed my skin) lol... In a way, I just want it to happen already so I can get over my fears... I've seen other people get bit by snakes (not BP's per se) and even though they say it's not painful, I find it frightening I think it'd be best if I just knew what to expect...

My spider bp has struck at me two times so far and i have only had him for a week. Everytime i go to fix something in the tub he doesnt like me there.

i got bit for the first time a month or so ago.
i had just fed her and i was watching her as i always do. and i noticed there was a strand of MY hair sticking out the corner of her mouth. So i didnt know if its ok for her to eat my hair...u kno being dyed and all...so i stuck my hand in there thinkin to pull the hair out of her mouth. she had just finished her meal. she gave me a quick nip an then immediately hid in her hidey place. LOL i was more startled than anything else it hardly hurt but maybe thats cus shes still little
