Do you all jump on feeding day when they strike?

[snakey68]

lol I can understand some of the jumpy people here when I 1st started feeding Pythons I used to flinch every time.

I think after 20 years plus keeping snakes I am just so used to it now I never flinch I just focus on trying to get the head hit 1st lol

I remember showing a cousin some of my snakes a couple of years ago which was funny as I brought various Ball Pythons out and one of the adult bloods and he was scared to death, then I come in the room wearing elbow length gloves holding a baby female blood.

He was like how come you never wore gloves for all those other snakes and you do with that little fat thing. At which point the little fat thing sprung off my gloved hand onto his chest just missing his nose with a very fast strike.

He understood why then , hehe ...though that same female which is called Jaws because of its attitude back then is much tamer now.

I have 9 inch, and the ball is the only one that can make me nervous, she is fast and strikes with a force! Only a real man can admit that....

how big is the ball?
i was bit by a 6ft boa, i dont ever jump, unless she snaps at me... strikes, naw, but for some reason the noise she makes when she snaps her mouth at me makes me jump more than a strike... even more then a strike at me...

My wife says I'm a big sissy. She doesn't flinch when she feeds them.

I know it's sad, but it's true.

must be a woman thing, i dont flinch when i feed them, =] ever

my parents do tho...

I don't flinch - usually. I use hemostats and hold f/t by the back of the neck, but my bp is just over 2 feet, so not very big yet.

She also can't drive a car. I always figured that was a personal problem for her but since you bring up the woman thing...
