Got my first snake bite today!

[phantom1bc]

lol,, all look very mild, once when cleaning my retics enclosure, she got pissy an nailed me on the hand between the thumb and pointer finger. Wife had a good laugh as she walked in with me sitting in a chair,,tears streaming down my cheeks like a baby as i waited for her to let go.

Yep, Rat bites are horrible in comparison to snakes.

One of my rosy is also a biter, hope you don't mind a little hijack.

Oh my gosh its' head is tiny! He/she has you pretty good!

OK Stephanie - who got you?

I bet I know exactly who you think it was! It actually wasn't him!!! It was our friendliest snake, my sister's normal male! I guess he was a little to excited about eating and I looked like a much easier target!

I hate rat bites

I've found with Rosys that they have a tendancy to take a nibble when they feel like it. She was perfectly fine whilst I was holding her and she decided to nuzzle my wrist then she wiggled her mouth over and locked on I don't think its for fun but it's certainly not an aggressive bite or a stressed bite.

You are right I was just holding it ( He not she ) Lol She just decided to take a munch on me which is acceptable they don't know whats right or wrong.

Sorry for the highjacking of your thread OP

Oh man, I couldn't have a Rosy! I'm not fond of getting bit by anything! What a little demon! At least with balls I know when I'm going to get bit and how to avoid it. I just got too comfortable with them and made a dumb mistake!

And sorry, I for some reason assumed you were a she And no problem!

Congrats on first bite I'm 7months in and I'm waiting for the day just to get it over with.

Lol no kidding! I was sort of excited, but sort of not. It was much quicker than I thought it would be, but definitely hurt less than any other bite I've had. Although, he must have nicked my vein because I have a pretty decent bruise from the bottom bite.

Great bite pics! I dunno about how bitey Rosy Boas are, but mine seems to be less inclined to bite. So far (*knocks on wood*) she has not bitten me at all. I'm sure the day will come. At present, though, out of my 13 snakes, I've only had accidents with my male Ball and my male Red Tail. Both were my fault during feedings and taught me a lesson.

Anyway, as mentioned, great pictures and welcome to the club!

I had both and I must say in my case the snakebite was worse lol - little bugger lost a tooth which I couldn't get out for weeks ...

That rat bite is wicked Steph! And sorry to barge in. Let me share this sweet photo of me and my first spidey when we first met.

I have 5 Rosy and only been bitten by one, I've noticed that the males are alot more laid back than the females. Will only be a matter of time though before I get nabbed by all the females lol

No problem for assuming It's not the first time its happened lol

Congrats! Hope it's your last!

Thank you! It seems like you always know when balls will bite. Either feeding, nippy babies, or agitated adults.

Oh man that would hurt!

I sure didn't enjoy the rat bite, it was nasty! He got the pad of my finger, a little through my nail and on the side of my nail. I think that's the only thing that saved me from losing a piece of my finger!

Cute pictures! Spiders seems to be really nippy as babies

Well that's good, for both things I think it's your name

Congrats! Hope it's your last!

Thanks and I hope so too!

rat bites are far far far far worse then a bp bite im on your side!

[andwhy6]

NO KIDDING! I would MUCH rather be bit by the snakes than a rat! Rats have some killer bites!

That little girl left a pretty good mark! Do they bite just for fun?

shes not lying! rat bites are horrible!
