POLL: Have you been bit by a BP?

[redshepherd]

It's been almost 2 years and none, except for that one noob mistake during my first 2 weeks of owning my first BP. (sticking my hand into his tub when I smelled like a mouse on feeding day LOL)

My BEL though is crazy on some feeding days, and will literally flail and throw his teeth left and right when I stick the rat in the tub, sometimes flailing straight out of the tub. He doesn't even look WHERE it is, just flails everywhere as I try to stick the rat in his face, and gets the rat eventually. LOL

Only once, and that was because the poor baby couldn't aim very well yet. (she missed the mouse lol) thankfully she was (and is) still too small for it to be anything more than a surprise.

I've been tagged once, but it was definitely my fault. I reached over the girl's head with a large water bowl and scared the crap out of her.

I can now say once. My girl over the last two weeks has become an aggressive feeder. Other night she missed on first strike and just kept going culminating in my hand getting hit before she found the mouse. Must say wasn't too bad! Lol.

I've been bit by my boy before but it was 100% my fault. I dropped his rat from the forceps I have by accident and was looking at the rat to pick it up instead of him and he tagged me. I didn't even realize it until I pulled my hand out and there was blood all over it in the shape of his little mouth and I'm just like '...You adorable little brat.' It didn't even hurt. Much rather be bit by him than the scratches I get from my cat.

I've been bitten by an adult king, and by garters I would catch in the yard as a kid. Never been bitten by a BP or any of my snakes. I was bitten by the king in the store. I was there to look at her and the other adult male king he had available, she bit me a few times over the course of a few minutes. The male was a Cali, which I wasn't looking for, but figured I'd check him out anyway...I fell in love with him, he came home with me that day and has been an absolute sweetheart since day one.

I've never been bitten, even when I should have been bitten. This girl wanted to hold him, and she puts him around her neck. Hades anchors himself on her armpit and sniffs the air. She starts freaking out when this happens. I had to quickly get him off of her before she hurt him. I also grabbed his head. Something he hissed at but didn't bite at.

Got my second bite today, and the first one by a bp. My little enchi lesser girl got me
It was my fault, I didn't have time to warm the rat up, and I didn't get my feeding tongs so I used some tweezers which are about half the length. Aaanndd I had my hand in the enclosure. She's very fond of her food

She went for my hand instead of the rat, and i didn't have time to react quicker 😂

Ive been bit a total of three times by my lemonblast female (5 months) I put her back in her enclosure and moved my hand waaaaay too fast for her so she tagged me once. And she bit me twice on a different day when I was cleaning a wound she got from a mouse bite

That was the first bite, so tiny and painless, but then again, she is a small snake

I need to work more with Bean because she's is a jumpy, suspicious tings, but at this point I just take it as a given that she's going to bite me. At least it doesn't hurt!
