POLL: Have you been bit by a BP?

[stickyalvinroll]

Nahhh I'm just way too good with snakes

I have had my share of ball pythons growing up, and have handled MANY other ball pythons. I have never once been bitten. I have decided to get into the breeding game, and I have 6 small balls now, and 2 of my 6 are, well, gits! They have not landed a bite yet, but they are not giving up! LOL! I imagine it is only a matter of time before they tag me.

I've had a couple of 'feeding' bites off my male Albino Royal who's a very good feeder but as I've mentioned elsewhere I'm pretty sure all albinos have slightly 'dodgy' eyesight so I'll forgive him .

Complacency is a bad thing at feeding time though .. something I'm sadly guilty of .

The only times that I have been bitten is when they were trying to get somewhere in accessible and my hand was preventing that.
It doesn't hurt or bleed much, kind of like a TB test.

Never been bit by bp but other snakes yes

I can officially say that I have received my first bite. Didn't hurt any worse than a flu shot. I honestly think a papercut was worse than my Alduin's bite. But then again he is still a baby ball.

All the bites I've had over the years have just felt like I've just scraped past a rose bush thorn ... Nothing too big though as managed to latch on thankfully ... I always think that the latest bite helps me "focus " as it's so easy for some to get complacent ....

my friendliest BP - a pied male named Boq - missed his rat the other night and tagged me instead.

he even left a tooth! (sorry, couldn't get the camera to focus.)





1 day later.

That's a good point .... Do feeding lunges really count as ' bites '.

In the year I've had Noki, she's never bitten me or anyone else. I let my 4 year old cousin handle her, too. (With extremely careful supervision and I've taught him not to grab or squeeze her.)

I'm a pet owner with a super pastel female BP who is very much loved!
