My kingsnake being the colubrid that he is has bumped me a few times, when I first got him anyways. I don't think he really even bit. It never bled or anything. But never by the ball pythons.

I've had a few bites off my Albino Royals at feeding time - discussed in the ' albinos and dodgy eyesight ' thread.

She snapped at me once, but it was my fault as a new snake owner. I was moving my hand too fast next to her hide while cleaning the substrate, and I felt smoothing sharp hit my finger, and was like "Holy damn! What was that!", and there she was, coiled up under a little bridge type thing right outside of her hide, stalking my hand like a prey item. Needless to say, I move slowly now. Lol

Got nipped by a hatchling a few times. My leopard was kinda bitey when I first got him. Thankfully, he grew out of it. My cinnamon also got me once, while I was petting her tail. Apparently my hand moved like food. She seemed very apologetic afterward.

"Apologetic" lol. I like that.

Did that the day I got mine too. Except mine just curled into a ball afterwards, if I recall correctly.

I've been tagged:
once by a corn: She was annoyed when I moved her up from 2 smaller prey to one larger prey. She hung out waiting for the second one and when I closed her glass, she did a quick tag and run.

once by a bp who overshot the rat and caught my hand holding the tongs. She released immediately. My fault for bad technique and she was mortified...came right out of her bin and tried to hide along its edge. When I picked her up, she balled up, which she never does, and wouldn't strike for the next two feedings.

twice in a row by the same rosy boa. He bit and released then bit again right away and wouldn't let go. I had to put mouthwash on a q-tip and hold it by his nose. Lesson: don't pick up a hungry rosy boa. Lol
