Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

1st bite was a diamond back water snake when I was herping at the age of 11. It was about as long as I was tall at the time. I am grateful to him, he taught me to respect. He also taught me the importance of being able to identify what the heck just bite you. I became the resident expert after that experience lol
Before then, I lived in Venezuela. I was an inquisitive kid. This resulted in a myriad of different bites, including being bitten by a wild Parrot, ridiculously large ants, and wild iguanas and nearly being bitten by a very wild large tortoise ( I wish I knew what type).

My first was my fault...It was a juvenile ball python named Allegra...got me right on the miggle finger! I have to say, it didn't hurt at all...Surprisingly, I'm going to get a retic that's like a puppydog...It's weird. The snake that is supposed to be the most docile is the one bit me, and largest and one of the most aggressive snakes is really sweet....strange.

The first one that I remember was by a 8' female red tail. I was taking her out of the tub and I had thought I bumped my elbow against the wall but then my friend noticed I was dripping blood down the hallway. Sure enough she had gotten me right on the elbow. Over the next few days it turned into a big black bruise so she must have gotten me good, but I didn't notice. XD

My first bite was a hatchling Rough Scale Sand Boa that bit me on the thumb. It didn't even break my skin but it surprised me!

My first snake bite was with my 14ft Burmese Python Male.
It was feeding time and even though I didnt handle any rodents
he knew anyway. As soon as I opened his enclosure, he put my whole wrist in his mouth and proceeded to wrap his entire body
around my arm. I tried not to panic but my arm was swelling and blood was dripping everywhere. I finally got him to open his mouth and let me go.

I have yet to be bitten actually, however I just got a new White Lipped Python who is trying very hard to change that. I am actually a little surprised because I own GTPs, WLPs, Womas, Pines and a Mangrove. The day it happens will be a memorable day though because I have owned snakes since I was a 10!

I have had snakes for MANY years.Getting bit sucks!After it happens I am always thinking how I could prevent it.The larger snakes I am am less leery of,the smaller ones (under 10 ft) always spook me.It's the green annie.I know this is gonna sound silly,I put glasses on when I have to deal with her.I love my sight!She has got me in the face before.My fault though.
It's not if but when.
