Ball Python BITES…. How Bad Are They?

[@Khaoscntrl]

As a reptile lover whose constantly battling the stigma, I love that you showed the first ball who wouldn't go for it. It just shows how chill these guys really can be even when directly provoked for it. Good noodles.

[@JK-vy8vh]

Getting a feeding bite by an adult female leaves a nasty bruise my friend got it off only for it to bite and latch again. Swear he pisses it off bc it acts like a blood python.

mine just randomly bit me whilst I was giving him a new climbing branch, maybe he thought I would hit him with it lol.

My ball python's never bit me. I've had her since 1996. My dogs have bitten me numerous times. I'd be a lot more afraid if a human bit me.

[@MungeParty]

My ball python never bit once in three years, handled almost daily, super chill, then one day he was sitting on my head and thought my eyebrow was a mouse and latched on, coiled around my headset. Vodka or hand sanitizer around the mouth will get them to release instantly. They're very sweet but they're not the brightest.

[@bunny8821]

The only snake species I have kept and have been bit by was a garter snake that is native to my area and was being rehabilitated after it had gotten beat up by my chicken. The way it had bitten me was it bit down and then chewed in its mildly neurotoxic saliva. It would, at most, sting a bit when it would work its teeth in, but otherwise, it didn't phase me. I did bleed a bit due to them having a special component in their saliva which causes you to bleed more than you normally would with such a small injury. In addition to my previous statements, baby snakes biting and trying to be intimidating is honestly adorable; because they simply aren't.

one thing that helps is realizing that every single animal will bite you if threatened, your dog will, your cat will… and it’ll hurt a lot worse. so what’s the difference with a ball python? not only that but it’s rare for them to even want to bite you… unless you have rodent juice on your hands…

[@IAMGiftbearer]

The one time I got bitten it was a feeding bite by a thousand gram female when I was changing her water. This particular female tended to just shoot out of the tub before checking to see if she was being fed or the tub opening for some other reason. I had heard so much from people that their bites aren't bad that I was probably more complacent than I should have been and it kind of shocked me that the force was as much as it was. My whole palm turned purple and swelled up for a few days. From then on I always make sure to distract her and stay out of the line of fire before reaching into the tub, or stick a paper towel roll between her face and my hand if cleaning or changing her water. She's not as much on a hair trigger now but I still am more careful when reaching in. Some of my others I can put my hand right up to their nose and they won't strike. I just got a male that's kind of defensive but he's gotten better with handling more often.

I squirt some water in his mouth, and after about 3-4 minutes he let go. The main thing is NOT to panic. They WILL let go!!! Just don’t try to pry them off, or pull away. Their teeth are rear facing, so you could injure them by doing so, and could hurt you more also. It was totally my fault, because he was in his hide. I was using tongs, but he still got me. He’s a super chilled, great snake that I would trust with anyone holding.

I knew it was my fault but I was afraid of her because of the 'attack'. I bled a lot but had tiny little holes. Since then, my snake collection has grown. I've been bitten since and it's something you always jump at but shake off. It's FAST, doesn't really hurt, more startling than anything. I love my girl to this day and she's never bit me since. I know she's food reactive and now I wait for her to calm down before I even touch her. I was bitten again by a spider ball python rescue, I was scooping her poop and she tagged me without warning. No blood or scratch to speak of. You'll be scared--it's a BITE--but it comes with owning snakes. No shame in being a little scared later on but know they're animals, they can't tell us they're scared or hungry. You'll be ok if it ever happens!

Yeah my (very large) ADULT ball python has been defensive for about a week now and he is usually a sweet heart. Trying to find a video on what might be wrong with him and how bad a bite from him will hurt if it happens. However none of these guys are letting a full grown adult bite them. It like they think babies are the only ones that bite. I’m guessing it must hurt like hell since none of these guys are willing to take a bite from an adult. Also my snake is literally coming at me when I open his enclosure. Getting pretty worried about him.

Our ball python got under the stove recently on his feeding day so we had to try to convince him to come out with food and he wouldn't come out and was very irritated but would only strike at the food (or my hand holding the food) so we eventually had to pick up the oven drawer and I just grabbed him with both hands and while he didn't want to leave the dusty oven floor and was very angry...he still never even tried to bite me and relaxed and became a much different snake once I had him in my hands and out from under the stove. He went from ready to bite anything to very chill and explorative.

my ball-python is more than happy to bite, last time he drew lots of blood from my finger. However, I rescued him from someone's backyard, so I think he's probably still traumatized. The one I had before was way less stressed and easier to handle, that one never struck at or bit me.

I got tagged feeding mine a few years ago and she hung on. It was not fun, lots of blood.

[@RiffShark007]

I can confirm that ball python bites just feel like a tiny person punched you lol

[@X666_play1]

Are the venomous? I want me snake but I em new me first snake

[@KINOVAReptiles]

No they are not!

[@micahjoelgeimer4215]

So your telling me my cat using my body as a personal jumping board is more painful than a python bite? Swriously, I have scars but I'm way more afraid of my friends snakes 😅

[@KINOVAReptiles]

Size matters but most likely :) Just like a bobcat or a lion is going to do more damage than a kitten or a house cat, a giant snake will do more damage than a small snake.

[@foraminuteforaminute4056]

What kind of bite is it when you're holding the snake and after some time elapses, it starts chewing on you? (That's what the snake in my profile pic will often do).

[@KINOVAReptiles]

Feeding bite

[@steelixpokemon8041]

My ball python bite me for the first time. I had him for 2 years and never bite me but this time I was not paying attention when feeding him. The bite was in my knuckle. A few seconds later my knuckle got swollen. Its that normal? I read in the internet that it is. I just want to know what people with experience think

[@KINOVAReptiles]

Yes, that's normal. Swelling is your body's response to trauma. Just keep it clean!

[@distinguishedguest]

I own a ball python and he has tagged me once hurts less than a cat scratch way less but if he ever wraps me....thats my biggest fear with him.

[@thisissarah815]

From my experience, ball pythons are like the golden retrievers of snakes

[@kevincameron6870]

Fire orange dream spot nose lol what ever it is WOW absolutely beautiful seriously love it.

[@shellyb2042]

Why didn’t you show how to get them off after a feeding response bite? I’m curious how easy that is and how to not hurt the snake in the process

[@nathanbrickwood6444]

I liken it to stinging nettles, it’s the oh dam I touched one that’s the shock, the aftermath isn’t so bad

[@dreadocean8648]

Yea, but what about when they're like 5 foot long

[@stivemichel8021]

We’re selling 3 of our pythons for half the price, this is because we’re facing a capacity problem atm. Email me if you’re searching for a python.

[@nikkilee241]

I'd like to see you try this with a full grown ball python lol 😆 I've been bit by my baby and it felt like a little hot needle but my spider bal python on accident due to his head wobble, he missed during feeding and my pointer finger got the damage instead 😅 he is about twice the size of these ball pythons and his bite gave me no joke 30 holes in my finger and was dripping blood. I felt like I had been hit with a hammer and nails for a second 😅 was swollen and hurt for about An hour. But I have an even bigger ball python who is 4 ft and im scared to find out what his bite feels like 👍

[@dantan1249]

I got bit on my finger when I was 12. I dont remember the pain. It was so quick during a feeding. On my middle finger 😂
