Both times I got bit were totally my fault. I was messing around with some mice and forgot to wash my hands before trying to take Isabelle out of her cage (back when I was 16 or so). The most recent one happened last week actually. I made the mistake of going into Prehistoric Pets the day all the babies were being fed.

One thing I do have to say here though, when a ball python bites, you can't even really feel it. All you really feel is the force of the strike (the snake launching it's face into whatever it has access to). The teeth are so tiny that you don't even feel them! Especially with the babies. It took blood coming out of the bite wound for me to actually register that I had been bit. LOL
