Have all of you been bitten?

[joshn6805]

Lets see a ball that probably ways like half a pound so like .25kg is traveling with a downward acceleration 9.8 m/s^2 (gravity) force = mass x acceleration

2.45 Newtons of force being taken to your face, while a BP's head is like 50 grams? Traveling with an acceleration of like 2 or 3 m/s^2... thats like .1 or .15 Newtons.

Mind that I dont have a set of velocity readers to figure out their average acceleration, nor do I have a ball python head to shove on a scale, this was just guesswork, anyway the difference is pretty big. Mind that I'm not going to sit here and try and figure out momentum, kinetic energy, or collision information for the baseball, I'm too lazy for all that and I'd need to know more about its velocity before and after impact for that anyway.

Somebody paid attention in physics class .

I love having a snappy snake, they usually have the best feeding responses and they usually tame down with age. Sometimes your not so lucky though, its always fun having a 2000 gram girly launching at you.

Newtonian mechanics is a lie.

[joshn6805]

Newtonian mechanics is a lie.

But gravity is not, as I have learned on many occasion's.

[Oxylepy]

Newtonian mechanics is a lie.

Pretty much, hence me claiming I'm too lazy to work with any actual physics

I'm actually in college physics right now, but it's lame algebra stuff, it seriously bores the heck out of me. I cant wait until I get into Physics Sci/Eng.

I have been bitten, but only once. It was shocking, but did not hurt, and only a lil bit of blood!

Sad to say I am not a member of the bite club yet!

[Kysenia]

I have been tagged 3 times, twice by babies upon arrival and getting them set up........and once as I lifted the paper during feeding, the bp never seemed to be up front but this time he was, touch the paper to find and he thought it was the rat, didnt hang on , didnt hurt, just a startle lol.

When I worked at BHB for a week in August that was a different story lol...cleaning racks etc etc by the hundreds you dont have time with the little new borns to make sure you get them out perfectly so got nipped quite a bit there, but all babies so can be expected lol..

[BPelizabeth]

Not part of that club yet...though I am sure it will happen eventually.

Now talk to me about pee and poop....I think I am the queen. One of my snakes secretly thinks it hilarious to go on me everytime I hold him.

[bloodpython19]

my female dumeril has got me so many times it aint funny.in my face,my chest,neck,hands,arms every where.so just be careful

[Stewart_Reptiles]

The way I see it is like this having a snake and not expecting it to try to bite you and succeed is like owning a puppy and expect him not to have an accident on the carpet.

I have a few of them and be bitten a few times.

I am a bite magnet and other people's snakes also try to take a shot at me simply for walking by or sitting next to people handling them (True story)
