Anyway he struck at me and I could feel the bite but he immediatly let go, I gave him a stern "No!" (as if he heard me) then decided to just drop the mouse in. No bite marks blood or anything (unlike a cat attack) and I know where the snake was comming from he thought I was a mouse (unlike a cat which does it for the fun of it). So im now in the bite club, I guess, and ball pythons are still better than cats!
Most bites happen when people put their snakes in a separate enclosure to feed. I, haven't been bitten feeding in cage, cause I never have to touch them.

Welcome to the club
Either yoiu shouldn't pre scent or you should move it into the container before pre scenting.

It never happened to me. My first bite was when I was weighing my BRB. Lol.

Re: welcome me into "the club"
I've decided that since he's basicly a great tempered snake (if my needle blunder in another post is any indication) I don't really need to concern myself with feeding in a separate container to improve temperment. So next time I'll just do like I did today without trying to move the little guy. Thanks for your guys input!

Haha, I don't really know how temperament would improve feeding in another enclosure, my worst tempered snake is fed in the enclosure to avoid issues all together.
