I had a Ball Python (sweetest thing ever) for over ten years and now have four new little ones. I was proud, up until today, to say that I had never been bit by a Ball Python. WELL, today was my day of initiation into the "I've been mauled by a BP" club . The kicker? The culprit was a baby Ball Python at Petco; dang thing wasn't even mine!! *Oh well*. For those who have never experienced it, I honestly had to replay the incident in my head to believe that I did, indeed, actually get bit - it felt like a safety pin lightly grazed my finger.
