*WARNING* Graphic First feeding bite

[larryd23]

I hate to say it, but my first thought seeing your blue finger was that you stayed calm and waited for your BP to release.

One of the first things I told my daughter before she got her BP was that someday she might get bitten and when she did it was important that she stay calm and wait for the snake to release. Otherwise, she would risk injuring the snake.

Little did I know that as she was selecting her BP, pulling one tub out of the rack after another, she would inadvertently pull the tub labeled "Children's Python" and find a young Children's Python that was, contrary to its name, not very fond of children. To my delight, she stayed calm and waited for him to release. Happily, both child and python lived to tell their story.

I've been tagged a few times during feeding, but never thought much of getting tagged until I got nailed by my male eastern indigo during feeding....I now use long tongs lol

Hah, that reminds me of something I've seen a bunch of years ago !!

During a fair in Savannah, GA they had a "educational reptile show". They started talking about how endangered the Eastern Indigo snake has become. One guy brought this BEAUTIFUL Eastern Indigo out to walk around and show it off.

I watched the snake slowly and deliberately slither around his wrist and then open its mouth and latch on!!! I have to say..the guy kept his cool !!! LOL. I don't think many people even noticed what happened. I saw him grimace for a second and tense up, then he kept walking around with the snakes face attached to his wrist...hehe. He moved that arm below the other arm to try to hide the "bite".

The snake wasn't letting go, either. He finally walked (fast) behind the stage, lol..

I had a baby that did that once then proceeded to try and swallow my thumb. Mouthing my thumb was not what I was expecting! She is now my largest ball python. I stopped weighing her when she hit 5000 grams. She is enormous. Looks like a blood python. No spaces between scales either.

Lol yes I have good control of my actions when it comes to my animals lol this isn’t the first time I’ve been bitten by an animal, my 125lb yellow lab had a seizure, I thought she was choking and well when I went to do cpr and clear her mouth she chomped down on my hand....this was before I knew what it was. I didn’t flinch and trust me it hurt. I got lucky and no broken bones or skin believe it or not, just a lot of bruising. The heat signature on my hand was higher then the rat....that was my mistake

Oh, please post pictures !!!

I LOVE the big ones. I have a 3000 gr. male right now. I used to have 2 big girls, both were rescues. One at 3500 gr and one giant one at 4500 gr. Neither one was fat, either. Just BIG.

Would love to see your girl.
