Wow thank you so much! First time to know...In the past I just thought it's some kind of dangerous bacteria carried by rodent and never done research. I was always thinking whether human breed rodent still have bad bacteria or virus lol. Yeah I can feel it must be really bad if they bite me with his feeding response. My boa always stays a strike position with S shape neck and upward head after eating his rat . I always wait until he's calmer then pick him back to his home....When I pick him up, he'll turn around his head and shows his strike position again and looks like he wants to taste my hand
LOL yeah I saw a bite club here. I'll let you guys know when I join in.

I've heard feeding-related bites are worse than fear-related ones mostly because the snake doesn't plan on letting go when they strike at prey, versus nipping at a threat to warn them away. I've also heard that being bitten is just part of owning snakes, so let us know when you do have your first experience! (I've not had mine yet either.)
