Handling & Getting to Know your BP

[PythonBabes]

I have handled ball pythons hundreds of times, and FINALLY I got bit once on the hand by my grumpy juvenile "Snappy", and..... it didn't even hurt! It was like rubbing up against a blackberry bush. Not saying that getting bit is cool, but it was not a big deal, it is not like these things have huge fangs like a viper.


Anyway, that is great news! watch the handling videos, learn all you can, remain calm and gentle and it is fun to handle them.

Yup! Nothing more than a little prick and not even any blood. I was stupid and stuck my hand in his cage to nudge the rat towards him and he reached out and got me. I didn't think he could reach that far which I why I even stuck my hand in his tub and he was lightening fast too! I didn't even have a chance to jump back.
