Feeding and offering drink from the hands is so cool and sweet! I love when im holding my snakes and i i just put a rat in the tub and let then strike out of my hands. And if we get bit, oh well, certainly not ganna put a bad mark on the hobby unless your the biggest wino in the world and call up channel 6 news cause you got pricked with the least painful little pin prick youve ever felt. Hell getting bit by a bp is even cute.... And ive been bit hard by a 4850 gram hungry bp. I even knew it was coming, but i needed to weigh her and took her to my friends to feed her after. It left a bruise and looked brutal with blood coming down my arm but guess what, it didnt hurt. The fear is the only thing that hurts us, and i not a chicken when it comes to bp's........ lol
