I've never been bitten by a ball python, but I'm sure that'll change when I start making babies. I'm already nervous about having to pull my first protective mama off of her clutch of eggs. I have been bitten by a corn snake and a 6 ft red tail. The red tail got startled, and the corn snake was my fault, didn't wash my hands after handling a feeder.

Agreed! Rodent bites HURT, too, and they like to hang on where as a snake is just strike and go. Been a while since I've been bitten by a rodent, but my boyfriend had a feeder mouse chomp down on the end of his finger and didn't want to let go. OUCH.
