She went for my hand when I was feeding on Thursday, but luckily I saw her lock onto my hand and was ready to move by the time she went for it. Was cool to watch her miss the hand, coil back then immediately take the rat though!
I have be nailed by adult females a few times. Every time I seem to find a tooth stuck in my hand a few weeks later. And I don't care what anyone says, getting bit by a 4000g adult hurts.
Not that this was my first time being bit, but my seemingly calm Black pastel got into the striking position, so I waved my finger in front of his face and said " Oooo are you going to bite me?" yes was the anwser My fault entirely, you just have to learn to read your snakes.
I have been bitten once and it was my own fault. I picked up a baby in shed and it struck my finger. One dot of blood and I didn't even feel it.
I've been bitten by a super testy 14ft Granite Back Male Reticulated Python. He latched on to my finger and through his neck around my hand. He let go immediately after.. Didnt hurt too bad, but I dribbled a bit in my pants lol.
Once with no blood, once with very little blood.
I love sticking my fingers in his hide to feel the temperature!
