Because our snakes are raised by hand, and come from a lineage of hand raised parents, a bite from a Ball Python is indeed rare.

I couldn't stop thinking whether this is some really lame info in order to make people buy his snakes or whether this is actually true. I sincerely think that is a very cheesy speach because ball pythons are very reluctant to bite (never been tagged myself).

But I would like to get some other peoples thoughts and ideas about this one.
It merely sounds like an oddly implimented statement to convey that the breeders snakes are from captive bred stock and not bitey.
