Ahah getting bitten? so fearful

[pinkeye714]

So, i find myself being so fearful of getting bitten by my new balls who are 7month old. Never been bitten yet but struck at a few times by the male.
I feel dumb for being scared becuase i have been attacked by many mother cats during a bath and just getting to close to babies. I have been stung by a wasp 2 times and stepped on 4 bees. Yet i am scared as poo to get bitten. I heard getting bit is not as bad as my cat attacks ahah

any stories for me?

sorry i got nothing but a couple close calls. i say close calls cuz i've caught my little 6 month old mojo female thinking over whether or not she should have a go at me. whenever i catch her giving my hand the "stink-eye" i just pick up whatever hide box my hand is closest to and use it as a shield. she usually ends up changing her mind, though, but i'm just waiting for the day i'm not paying enough attention to her and that'll be the day she gets me.
i've heard the bites are more shocking then they are painful. i really do hope that is true, lol.

Ahah i hope the same thing. I am just such a paranoid person though! i hate it

My sister got bit by a ball python last year. She immediately got extreme headaches. She went to bed that night and about 4:30 in the morning, we heard the worst scream coming from her room. We ran into her room, only to hear her screaming under the sheets. We pulled the sheets off of her and this is what we saw.....


























































Just kidding, bites are more fearful than hurtful. Once you get bit, you'll say to yourself, that wasn't that bad.

Sorry for the joke, but I had to do it,

If you've been on the receiving end of kitty wrath then you got nothing to worry about. I have yet to be bitten but unless it's a large snake or a feeding response bite they don't hurt very much.

Just make sure to get all the scent of rat off of you before you go and pick em up.

I've gotten worse bites from kittens

Here's my first bite. That guy was 2 years old when he got me.


BP bites are nothing. I would take a bite from them over just about every other living creature! I was really scared to get bit before that bite, but after actually getting bit, it's no big deal! It will startle you! They're quick!

Getting bit by a rat is a whole other story! I've got a picture of my first rat bite too, it's not pretty!

He barely missed your vein. BP bites are really more fearful than painful, it's like someone hidding somewhere and jumping in front of you suddenly...

Being fearfuly of a bite is nateral. But after being bite more times then I can count. Ive learned that It still startles you more then hurts. But a big snake hurts, but mostly from the power behind the hit. Ive had burms and boas leave a bruse. I think the worst biters are the one that hang one and grind.
