    YAY i didnt get bitten!!

    so i have a BP (rescue) that used to snap and strike at anything that moved. but today i thought, well he hasnt done it in about a week so maby i should try again... it went GREAT! im so happy, he accually tollerated me (the giante gardening gloves helped my confidence a little lol) didnt want to freak him out too much though so i only kept him outta the tank for like 5 min.
    just needed someone to gloat too, all my friends think im crazy for keeping a snake in my house.

    thanks for reading.. hehe and happy herping

    good for you. but i don't think gardening gloves are necessary. a ball's bite doesn't hurt that bad

    After the first bite you get over it pretty quick does not really hurt. But congrats and getting over the fear welcome to the addiction

    Glad it went well Bobbi. Use the gloves until you feel confident to do without them. Better a confident handler wearing gloves than a nervous one with bare hands, I always figure.
