When was you first snake bite?!!!!

When was everybody first snake bite, and where did the snake bite you at? mine was only a garter snake, It bite me underneath the skin, next to my right thumb.

When I was in College, I picked up a BP that someone told me was vicious. I said... "Nawwww... No way"

Sure enough, this sucker tried to eat my hand. Between my thumb and my pointer finger on my right hand, wouldn't let go for anything.

Had to run warm water over its head.

Turns out the dood who owned it fed it only one mouse per MONTH. It was hungry.

SO! I took it home with me. Her name is Bitey, and even though since then she has yet to bite me, she is one of my favorites

My first pet snake was a burm and on two occasions he tried to take me as live prey due to his crazy feeding response. The first time he was slightly over 6 feet and got me right on the hand by my thumb, the nice meaty area. It took a half hour of constriction before he realized that he wasn't getting anywhere and let me go.

A year later he got me in the same spot only he was 8-9 feet, that time I knew it would be awhile before he let me go so I sat down and watched the simpsons. He coiled me clear up to my shoulder on that one.

Sorry about laughing! I have yet to be bitten by any snakes, though many have tried. But, I just couldn't see myself plopping down on the couch to watch my favorite television show, knowing that I was in the process of an attempted eating.

Even though I keep all boas now, my first snake bite was from a BP. I was fourteen and got the bright idea to feed my BP a live mouse by hanging the mouse from my fingers, well the snake went right past the mouse and got hold of one of my fingers. I was bitten more often by BPs than any other snake I have kept.

Here is a pic of a good one.

I was 11 or 12 and i caught a Gopher or some sort of water snake and needless to say it got me right in the thumb. At that time period i had caught 3 or 4 - 4+ foot Black Snakes and probably 10 - 15 Water Snakes (snakes that lived near the water) and it seems the smaller snakes had something to prove. None of the big snakes ever tried to bite.

Seems like the thumb every snake favorite spot,

I think my first snake bite was bite by a garter snake when I was 5.
It bite me about 300 times on my stomach, my dad told me it looked like I got pricked with needles.
It bit me a few times in the hands too.

I had owned my first snake for three or so months and was letting him (baby ball python) crawl around on my desk for a brief supervised period. I reached over to move a plastic bottle cap out of his way. Unforunately he interpreted that was "swift large thing moving swiftly at head" and struck defensively. He tagged me on the index finger.

I had actually expected the first snake bite to be from a young defensive baby carpet which I had just had shipped to me about a week prior. It took the carpet about three weeks to figure out I wasn't going to "eat him" every time I opened the cage.

The most amusing snake bite I've ever had was a young thayeri kingsnake, smaller in diameter than my pinky (I have small hands) trying to eat my finger

Mine was from a cali king. I had him out on my bedroom floor and stepped in front of him to stop him from getting through a gap under my door. He tagged me on my big toe.
