how bad is their bite?

[jossh27]

really debating on picking up a pair of atb's but im afraid of their bite! lol... truth be told, im afraid of being bitten by my king too!! shhh!

anyways can anyone give any insight to this?

[millertime89]

It's not terrible. I was bitten a handful of times by my old roommate's ATBs and it wasn't too bad.

[lady_bug87]

I've never been bit. I can't imagine it's fun. I use hooks with mine for that reason. If you pick them up inveest in a good one. they are wicked fast.

i would get a hook for sure. the store keeper said they are more tame once out of ther cage and in your hands, but i guess well see lol

I think it got him 2-3 times IIRC. That picture was taken about two years ago so I don't remember 100%.

They normally have an awkward half hearted strike. Most bites are not that bad. More of a nip than a bite.

ATB strikes are a mild bite compared to many other snakes. I quest it depends on what you compare them to (green tree pythons or emerald tree boas):pissedoff:

I'm curious what a snake bite is in comparison to a cat messing with you and those fish hook claws?

The cat claws are far worse.

None of the scars and cuts on my hands and feet came from my snakes, they all came from my cats playing with me. LOL I wonder what I would look like if my cats really wanted to hurt me? Most snake bites are no that bad.

You are talking about your experience with two snakes. I'm talking about my experience with hundreds of snakes. I breed ATB's and work with GTP and ETB.

[SSSSnakes]

If you really want to know about ATBs, look up Robert Henderson, the man I learned about them from. He is the worlds most authority on them. Also search Mike Heinrich, he was the top breeder of high quality ATBs and ran Amazon Alliance. These are the men I know and spoken to about ATBs and have taught me everything I know about ATBs.

thanks Jerry! ill look them up.

All I did was make factual statements, I did not make any sarcastic remarks And I respect my elders for their wisdom and experience that only comes with age.
