Python strikes/bites

[Gaius Marius]

what do they feel like? Curiosity has my interest. I hear they're not painful but id like to hear it from people that handle/care for them routinely

Most of the time, it happens so fast that you do not even feel it. Most of the emotion is shock, because they are so quick. Then when you look, you may have a few tiny blood spots that look like pin pricks. I've never had any of my balls or boas strike and hold on, but I am sure it could happen.

I have. Imagine dragging your arm through shards of glass and then immediately dipping it in Tobasco sauce. Well... it feels nothing like that.

Even a big bite-and-hold isn't that bad. You might bleed a bit, and the teeth are pretty sharp and thin, but it's nothing compared to a cat/dog bite or even the playful bite of a puppy that's still learning how far to go.

Lady taged me at feeding time one day she hit me so fast it felt like some one smacked my hand, it dint hurt at all, it stung a bit while I washed it out, but that was it.

I actualy laughed at her after words. when she struck out it was to get the mouse but I flinched and she got me, she let g owith in a sec. and looked up at me as iff t say "mom! I'm really sorry but that was your fult!" then she grabed the mouse.
