Oooooooh I was cleaning all snakes out and checking on them and then It was Mayhem's turn so i got him out then i had him on my hand as i went to put his lid on the bed he just bit my arm and i was like wow what the f*** hahah he had latched on my arm and then let go but felt like lil tiny pin ~p.ricks~ but it was more shock , I know i was saying i would love to feel a bite from the brbs but didn't expect this one to happen  . He either bit my arm as it was a hairy arm and thought was a mouse or he just fancyed bitting me for no reason . But my misses thought it was funny lol... |

Forgot to add that after he had bit me i didn't put him back i just kept handling him so he was aware that if he bites again i won't put him back i will just act if nothing happend.  |

Hahaha, I can laugh as I still have not been bit by any of mine yet but I'm sure that wont be the case forever :)
I must admit I am more nervous of picking up Sissy than I am of my corns as she has one hell of a fast strike and I know I would jump a mile if she struck at me lol

So Ash, am I such a wuss now?  Touche mate, touche. It's sharp tho isn't it, nothing like being bitten by a corn. They hook on for good! |

Yes you are still a wuss wuss haha mine didn't hurt it just more shock that he actually bit me lol. And I can't really say if corns bite is as bad as boa as Mayhem is only a baby and i didn't really feel it although he did make me bleed lol i will let you know of the out come when he grows his head a little bigger with more teeth haha . |

LOL Ash, didn't I warn you to knock on wood? ;-)
Lousie, it's not as bad as it sounds, and the surprise is the worst part (at least with babies). That said, I know what you mean: I have one nippy juvenile, but the problem is she is *unpredictably* nippy. Some sessions she is a total sweetheart, and others she will start out sweet, bite you for no reason...and then go right back to being sweet. Odd little gal, suits her name perfectly. |

I know you said on facebook but i forgot and i thought i whisperd to him that he gets treat if hes a good boy well today he was naughty so he will not be fed this so called rat until he is good and hungry to wean on to it lol..
I know let me guess It's Bixbite right ?
Do you think i did right by keep handling even after the bite as if nothing happend this is what i learned when i worked in a reptile shop for 2months i got bit left right and center and my workers was like never put them back or they will think freedom everytime they bite ? |

Yes, Bixbite it was. You're getting to know my lineup very well!
You were 100% correct to continue handling after the bite. Once a snake gets the idea bite = freedom, you're pretty much doomed. |
