I got tagged for the first time last night
Reached in to check the substrate for pee, and the brushing of my finger against his hide must have gotten him in the mood.

Little BP head shot out like lightning and nailed my finger. Holy sharp teeth!

I picked him up 30 seconds later and he was docile and fine, no damage to him

For those who haven't been bit yet, it felt like 8 very tiny needles being inserted into the finger at once, but the pain was gone within a minute. I'm wondering how much it's going to hurt when I get nailed by adult carpets

Well i work in a pet store and i've been bitten by tons of different snakes by the time... corns, kingsnakes, ratsnakes, amazon tree boas , solomon island ground boas, rainbow boas, ball pythons, and especially this very mean mexican black kingsnake who tries to EAT me at 98% of the times i take it out!!! I've been bitten by my BCC when it was 3 feet long, also been bit by my ball python when it was young and still, the only one i REALLY dont wanne be bitten by is my Emerald Tree Boa!!!! Corallus Caninus!!!

i've had three bites that required stitches, one from a rescue iguana who decided to show some appreciation by almost biting my finger off, one from a tokay who was being a tokay, and one from a young alligator, on my shin. i've never had a serious snake bite, though i've been tagged.

I've had Boas for over 10 years and never really been tagged, I have BCI’s and Dumerils. I got into Pythons about 2-1/2 years ago when I purchased 2.2 JCP's. One of my males tagged me once when he was about 4FT.

I purchased some Bloods last year and since then I've gotten use to getting hit every handling. Those are some nervous snakes! They're only about 2-3FT now and more of annoying pin pricks than pain, I really hope they calm down before adulthood!!
