Mine got me a few days ago, and I didn't understand why, but I just noticed his eyes are blue now. It's perfectly normal for them to get grumpy when they shed. As everyone else said... I could take your Boa, if you think he's ruined

lol those bite marks will get worse as your boa grows older. Appreciate them now! When i got bit by my 7 footer it wasn't pretty.

That was the first thing that popped into my mind! I was just thinking about when this little sucker gets bigger, I hope he mellows out. It didn't hurt. I was looking up at someone, and hardly felt that I had been bitten, looked down, and saw a little blood. I was only demonstratimg that it's normal while they're shedding. I had a 3' - 4' GTP get nippy with me, and had a close call with a BIG FAT Blood! (Like 5', and 8" round) at an Expo. He was pretty slow so I got away from him. Didn't get as lucky with the GTP... Luckily he was in the hand he bit, so I didn't accidently jerk away! This is going to sound weird, but I actually like being bitten. It helps me know what to expect. Not going to lie... If I could be bitten by the GTP again, I would definitely pass, but so far I haven't had any bites that were too bad but the GTP bite definitely wasn't comfy at the time.

I don't know what to expect if I ever get bitten by my gtp. Could you describe what it was like? the level of pain?

Idk, honestly. It was on the 17th and I figured that it wouldn't feel that bad if I didn't make a huge deal about it, so I didn't. Wasn't comfortable, and I didn't like it, but I am not like traumatized or anything. He got the top of my hand, which is filled with veins, and pressure points, so that may explain why it sucked, but I really tried to just block it out. Out of all the pain I've felt in my life, I'd say it was 5 out of 10. Out of the snake bites I've had, it was the worst (since I haven't been bitten a whole lot). I think the guys who owned him felt worse than I did lol

I have been bit a lot recently by my collection, including a 5' male around 5 pounds. He was the worst by far and he was maybe a 2 on a scale of 1-10.

Have you been bitten by a GTP before? I am wondering if a 3-4 ft GTP's bite would be worse than a large BCI's bite.

i would think so as the gtp have fangs

Reddog · 08-28-13, 07:11 PM

Lol i got bit by my brb the other day and he is in shed now. I was texting on my phone and had him in my hand and he gave me a hit did not hang on and did not draw blood but i could fill where one on his fangs sunk in. Ive have been bit a few times when i was a little kid by pet and wild snakes not bad just can give you a good adrenaline rush. I feed the boa today sorry never took any more pics he was very sensitive as after he killed his food he was trying to strike me so i cover the cage with a blanket and took my dog for a walk so the vibrations of me being around wouldn't bother him.
