Got bit for the first time ever by my banana Ball Python, about two weeks before I'd have had him for a year.
I jokingly called him a grump butt afterwards, but it was my fault. I spooked him awake doing cage maintenance and then hovered my hand too long in the strike zone--- I was wary but not having been bit or even stuck at before by him made me not back away like I should've, I thought he'd chill out like he usually does.
Alas, he got me right on the palm. I decided to leave him alone for the time being and a few mental notes to be more careful next time.
Here's the bite: https://i.imgur.com/e9i4p7x.jpg
