I was an avid ball python breeder before I had to sell all my snakes, so yes I have been bit a few times :)

I use to have a ATB....'nuff said!

The most painful was from a 4ft RTB. I thought I had the jump on her and jerked back...I lost and next thing I know I have a snake flying through the air ripping my flesh as she leaves my hand. I swear I thought I was going to bleed out!

I had to get out of keeping snakes. Not cause of the pain or being scared of being bitten, but for some reason my heart couldnt take it. Everytime they would strike my heart would skip a beat or something and Id get odd chest pains!

When I was about 13yrs. old Iwas bitten on my finger by what turned out to be a Copperhead,poisonous but not the most potent but the fangs did some real damage to my finger causing me to spend the summer in the hospital and a reptile handler from the Phila. Zoo was called in to talk with the doctors.

i stay away from snakes, i showed this one who was boss, i released it 3 days after i caught it.
Wow!!! that is an amazing snake thanks for sharing.
i have been bit by a lot of snakes but the most recent one was the worst. it was a 3 foot boa constrictor that hated anybody. it was crazy! the teeth just slice your hand. i also loved that snake but my mom has baned me from getting a snake again because of it:(
