Well, a recently new Ball Python owner his/her name is "Morphine" shes about 3 months old and seriously love taking on a Ball Python.

I have kept and bread Iguanas for years, years ago but always wanted to take on a Ball Python and now here I am! By the way Great forum! and you guys are all awesome! thanks for having me!

Last night I fed her and the Mouse(F) feel out of the Hemostat and on the substrate she previously struck it twice I went to go pick it back up with the hemostat and was grabbing it and she struck me and latched on to my index finger knuckle! I lift my hand out of the cage and she came with it, I couldnt shake her off for about 20 seconds!

I shook her ever so gently till she fell back in and I went and polysporined the bite and rinsed it a lot to come back and find she still took the mouse and was eating it as it just laid on the bottom.

What was funny the hemostats fell to the bottom as I was shocked by the bite and she placed her head over top of them for hours sort of giving that look " Come on stick your hand in again" LOL.

I was fine, the bite never hurt I was surprised for as long as she held on to me but more alarming was the shock of getting bitten.

I just wanted to share this story with "ya all" and just hoping everytime I go to handle her she doesn't nip strike and bite now. I think it was more a case of my hand in there waving hemostats trying again to pick up the mouse and she already was in feeding mode.

Thanks guys you are awesome!
