Well, it was bound to happen...
I can no longer say that none of my snakes have bitten me. All my fault, just got a case of the stupids, I guess. I was on the phone, so my attention was diverted. I had fed my Ball Python and needed to put her back in her home tank.
I hadn't washed my hands and when I reached for her, she got my finger. Bled a bit, startled me a lot, but not really much to take a photo of.
I guess I'm part of the club now.

Congratulations!
Always remember, most success in life is the result of right choices, which are the result of experience, which is the result of wrong choices.

America does not go abroad in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all. She well knows that by enlisting under other banners than her own, were they even the banners of foreign independence, she would involve herself beyond the power of extrication in all the wars of interest and intrigue, of individual avarice, envy and ambition, which assume the colors and usurp the standards of freedom. – John Quincy Adams (1821)

Re: Well, it was bound to happen...
Wow, another bp bite on here? What's this world coming to? (maybe I can antagonize one of my rosy boas into nailing me too? LOL!!!)

Re: Well, it was bound to happen...
welcome to the club dude.
when my snakes are in feed mode, which is from when they smell a rodent until a bit after eating (could even be a day or 2 after), it doesnt matter if they smell it on you or not, anything with a heat signature is a possible meal to them.
i feed inside their enclosures though.

Re: Well, it was bound to happen...
Nothing really to take a pic of...just a few pin-prick marks...and the adjoining scratches where I reflexively jerked away.
I'm considering feeding in their home enclosures, especially when I have my new cages finished and everyone moved in.

I always fed my snakes in their cages, and it worked great for me. Of course, I did get hit by one of my carpet pythons once. But he could always tell food was coming from a mile away.
Congratulations in advance on the new cages.

Re: Well, it was bound to happen...
Lol I didn't have to wait long. Had a boa that would randomly hiss while holding her. She turned back and tapped my arm. Congrats.

Re: Well, it was bound to happen...
A ball python bit you? I'm sure you must be mistaken.

Nope. The most docile, laid back snake ever and she bit me. I had handled the thawed mice to dry them off, though, and didn't was my hands after the fact. She is my most voracious eater, believe it or not. I was warm and smelled like dinner. I was asking for it.

Re: Well, it was bound to happen...
Well, look on the bright side - it was a ball and not a GTP or a timber rattler, cobra, or full grown saltwater croc. Or a hyena.....or a female human - I hear those bite and don't let go for years.
