Did I ruin my boa

Mine got me a few days ago, and I didn't understand why, but I just noticed his eyes are blue now. It's perfectly normal for them to get grumpy when they shed. As everyone else said... I could take your Boa, if you think he's ruined

lol those bite marks will get worse as your boa grows older. Appreciate them now! When i got bit by my 7 footer it wasn't pretty.

That was the first thing that popped into my mind! I was just thinking about when this little sucker gets bigger, I hope he mellows out. It didn't hurt. I was looking up at someone, and hardly felt that I had been bitten, looked down, and saw a little blood. I was only demonstratimg that it's normal while they're shedding. I had a 3' - 4' GTP get nippy with me, and had a close call with a BIG FAT Blood! (Like 5', and 8" round) at an Expo. He was pretty slow so I got away from him. Didn't get as lucky with the GTP... Luckily he was in the hand he bit, so I didn't accidently jerk away! This is going to sound weird, but I actually like being bitten. It helps me know what to expect. Not going to lie... If I could be bitten by the GTP again, I would definitely pass, but so far I haven't had any bites that were too bad but the GTP bite definitely wasn't comfy at the time.

I don't know what to expect if I ever get bitten by my gtp. Could you describe what it was like? the level of pain?

Idk, honestly. It was on the 17th and I figured that it wouldn't feel that bad if I didn't make a huge deal about it, so I didn't. Wasn't comfortable, and I didn't like it, but I am not like traumatized or anything. He got the top of my hand, which is filled with veins, and pressure points, so that may explain why it sucked, but I really tried to just block it out. Out of all the pain I've felt in my life, I'd say it was 5 out of 10. Out of the snake bites I've had, it was the worst (since I haven't been bitten a whole lot). I think the guys who owned him felt worse than I did lol
