Slap yourself in the face and say why did I do that for? Because it will be your fault!! 
BP never bite and if they do that’s because you did something wrong, like just cleaning your rodents cages.
cheers

You could just sit there and see if he / she will eat you?

I've heard different techniques, from running it under lukewarm water or dipping it under standing water to trying to open the jaws. I think the main thing to keep in mind is not to injure the snake, cuz then you have a whole 'nother world of problems. I remember a friend telling me about a pet parakeet that he killed because it bit him and he shook it off too hard.

thats not true in the slightest bit.....
when snakes bite, especially ball pythons, it is out of defense and some (especially WC) can be very defensive, hence striking at alot of things, it doesnt mean you did something wrong

I have never been bit but if I was this is what I would do. Rinse the wound under water then disinfect. If the snake doesn't let go, run its head under water.

Geez...how big would a ball have to be to swallow a buffalo? Is this for real?
Hey, Monty, can I borrow your ball? I got a sibling that could use a lesson in respecting her elders...

Well I heard that if you use whisky, or rubbing alchol and put it under the snakes nose that they will let go. Don't pull your hand back because it will only hurt you more, and it will pull the snakes teeth out. Once the snake lets go clean the bite wound with rubbing alchol and take care of it like you would any other scratch. But go to your doctor if it gets infected. Never want to take a chance!
