BCI bites. checkong for teeth
Hey, guys. My male BCI got a little scared and bit me twice. Didn't pull back at all but I want to check for teeth just to be safe. What should I look for/is there an easy way to tell if there's teeth in my hand? It wasn't pleasant, but wasn't horrible.

Re: BCI bites. checkong for teeth
Swelling, redness, and tenderness are signs of foreign objects in a cut. Don't go digging around in your hand. You will know if there is something in the wound in a few days.

Re: BCI bites. checkong for teeth
He's been real defensive, but this is the first time he's bitten. Idk why. All my other ones are super tame, and are living in the same conditions. Idk... Hopefully I can tame him out while he's young

Re: BCI bites. checkong for teeth
Run your finger quite firmly over the wound, if there are teeth in there you will know it.

It will feel like a sliver. I doubt you have any or you would already know. As for the sudden attitude change....not sure

Re: BCI bites. checkong for teeth
Correct me if I am wrong, but these two boas were bought within the last couple of weeks? As for the attitude change, it takes time for a snake to settle into its new home, and once it settles in it sometimes "changes" and this surprises many owners.

Wise word young grass hopper. lol
Leave him alone for a week or two and let him settle in. Also never put a snake down or right back in it's cage when it bites you. Doing so will only reinforce these behavior.
