I own a Blue and Gold Macaw and damn he can bite! As most large birds are they like only a handful of people and picking one out of them to like a lot. Well I am that one person. Zaz loves me but he can still bite the crap out of me sometimes. Its mainly out of excitement, he is just being overbearing and doesn't really know what he is doing. Usually I can tell when he is about to do it so I just leave him alone

For the time being I have been really lucky not to have been biting by any of my animals

Right now I have

0.0.1 Ball python
0.0.1 King snake
0.0.1 Brazilian Rainbow boa
0.0.1 Boa constrictor

Out of the four of these the top two I think might get bit by first is either my king snake

(because when i was first giving this 2+ feet snake it would try to bite my hand through the cage but since being fed it has seemed to calm down. However, looks are decieving so I'm thinking He'll be calm until I go to reach my hand in there to take him out and take pictures/measure him)

Or it maybe my Brazilian rainbow boa that might end up tagging me by accident because its very quick and its feeding response turns on so fast you would think it stayed on forever. so I can see him tagging me if I was to start pre - killed feeding with tongs.

Regardless of which ones tag me first since I have never been biting by anything I hope they all get out of their systems while at these small sizes.

Well my ball python isnt small at all thats why he/she gets fed inside its tank. but it has never bit me at all so what this tells me is that not all snakes will associate the cage opening with being fed no matter how many weeks/months/ years you feed your animals within their enclosures.

Some species of snakes just automatically go into feeding/defense mode when people get them trapped/cornered in their homes..which sounds normal to me. as any animal/person might do

Am I the only one who thinks the bumpy ridges on the upper and lower "lips" of brazilian rainbow boas kind of have that skeleton look to them

LOL, the heat sensors do look like skull teeth if you think about it

Those are heat sensors?....I thought heat sensors looked like "holes" those arent even open...or are they?...

Yep they are, and even though your spp. are not as arboreal as say chondros, they it helps more in prey detection. Thats why when I am switching snakes from live to dead prey , I heat the dead mouse/rat and it helps facilitate the transition.

Well today I got tagged for the first time and I'd like to thank CRPY for jinxing me lol :clap: :clap: (just kiddin)

This is how it happened today I got my two baby BCIs a female and the male.

The female was really laid back didnt give me any hassle at all except the normal coiling back as if to strike but just got frightended.

The male I wasnt so lucky with, I took the male out the bag all excited not remembering that even though these snakes are normally docile some will be nippy as babies and may strike.


Not using common sense for a quick second shame: ) I just pulled him all the way out the bag he was in. beautiful snake I must admit but he was in no mood to be bothered. he struck at me three times while being held and got me one time on my closet digit to my thumb.

I resisted the jerking back argue and just let him bite me so he bit then let go. of course this shocked me more than anything else (the fact that he bit me then kept striking. so I set him down in the box he came in quickly went and got a catch up and an enclosure to put him in. before i actually put him in the enclosure, while he was in the box he striked repeatedly (hopefully with daily handling he'll be as calm as my other boa because boy is he/she an angel). I'm going to name him K.S.A.(Which stands for Kahl Strain Albino)

Here is my new male that bit me; even though he bit me he is still a beautiful one:

I got tagged by a half grown jungle carpet python during feeding time once. I dropped the feeder in with her and I thought I had my hands far enough with the tongs well the mice bumped the snakes tail she got me good between my thumb on my and my index finger on that soft part of skin that we all have lol. I bled a little but as soon as she grabbed my hand she released me was not as bad as I thought it would be I didn't let a high pitch battle cry out like some do all I could do was stay calm.

To add to the thread, I've use to have red-tail boa, a big girl, that didn't like being misted. Long story short, I was working broken off teeth out of my hand for the next few weeks. I still have a few imbedded in my fingers that never came out. There is something about reptile bites and how they never stop bleeding it seems....

I have two monster burmese, but they are gentle giants most of the time, and give you lots of warning before they strike. But I've had some close calls where I've been mistaken for a nice juicy rabbit. And when a 14 ft burmese that weighs close to 100 lbs is lashing towards your face at 90 mph mouth gaping open and all, you squirt a little....

 

[arachnocat]

question...

When snakes break off their teeth, how quickly do they grow back? Are they able to eat ok still?
