How often have you been bitten by your ball python?

How often are you bitten by your ball python? how long have you had him/her? Does the bite hurt, or draw blood? Leave a picture of your bite.

Had my girl for almost a month, never been bitten. I have a friend who has a 5 year old male that she's had 3 years, and has never been bitten.

Woops, my bad. I thought it was Ball PythonS. I don't think I've ever been bitten by one snake more than a couple of times.

And it has been a couple of years since I've been bitten. I guess I'm better at reading my snakes now.

I get bitten by babies all the time, but they grow out of it, and one ball python normally never bites more than once or twice.

I've never had an adult bite me, and most of the babies get sold once they start eating and can be handled.

Again, after the first month or so, they grow out of the biting.

I've been bitten but not by any of the 3 we have now. Our first BP bit me after a feeding. I now know it was because we were really underfeeding her.

After I got bit a bunch of white bumps appeared around the bite marks, so I called nurse direct and they said I was allergic to the saliva so to speak in the snakes mouth. I had to get a tetanus shot, according to them. So I did, and that hurt way more than the snake bite.

Never been bitten.
The fiancee got bit the first time she handled him. He slipped off her hand and tried grabbing with his mouth. His balance has gotten a lot better since then.

Not once in 10 years by any of my BPs.

I have never been bitten by an adult. A few times by babies but thats usually a feeding response. I only have one that bites out of fear/agression and I believe thats because she is a CH baby and has not had much handling.

Two years so far so good. No bites and only one strike.

several years and no one bite.
