Snake Bite

[Rob]

your fear of this happening is almost totally unfounded. since a ball pythons bite is much more a warning than the fact, it wants to eat you.
If you get a bp you will get bitten, i'm about 100% sure of that, however it's not as if its gonna tear your arm off or anything.
I'm guessing your testing the waters about buying a snake.
Here is a great factor in buying a snake: they can live 20-30 years.

The video he is talking about I'm guessing is the one with the long haired kid with the spinner. The snake for whatever reason recognized his finger as food and was latched on and constricting. So no it wasn't a warning. He was as ridiculous as it is,was attempting to eat his hand. I think often BPs warning is hissing more then striking and even more then that just crawling into a ball. So @ gr8gugly don't let the whole biting thing stop you from getting into ball pythons. If anything it should encourage you too get a BP seeing as they are for the most part very timid animals.
