Young kids should be supervised when working with a snake if they arn't used to it. But I myself have seen many a ball python around necks and wrists of kids so no one listens to me... For kids, mentally impared, and the elderly there should always be someone on hand ready for a bite or to unwrap a snake from ones neck. Ball pythons are the least of my worries for bites and such. They are gental snakes if handled correctly even after they reach 4 feet. I love these little buggers with all my heart and I can see where there is danger for the young and old but not for healthy adults.
    Younger than 16? LMAO

    Re: What do you do if the snake wont let go?

    I've never heard of a BP latching on

    I do get bitten by the kingsnake at my petsmart quite often though... I usually end up running water over its head until it releases me.

    If I tried to remove it by grabbing from behind the head I would probably injure tthe poor thing.

    Haha, sorry, but I laughed out loud when I read that. I disagree completely. If a ball python has ever killed someone, I'll eat my own face off. I think a baby could fend off a BP.

    Re: What do you do if the snake wont let go?

    I think Pandora gets the point now.

    back to the thread .......... i think relaxing until it lets go will be your best bet. but if they get you in a good spot, hand sanitizer sounds like a good idea! Nice FatBoy!
