I has nuttin to Say.
Well, I have posted pictures of bites here but I think this is the best yet.
This is from a 4 foot boa that tagged me as I reached in and changed water tonight. Mind you, she is turning blue so I must've freaked her out.

Here are the photos of the girl holding on to me.

How do you have the presence (sp?) of mind to take pictures?!

She is lovely by the way;)

Can I ask how you got her to release and how long it took?
Did she finally just figure our you were not on the menu,
no "Trickster a La King"?
 
LOL she was giving you a kiss thanking you for changing her water of corse.

haha

"You know your a herper when......"
 
:roflmao: Nice photos!

My little Paco is quite a bit smaller than your boa (a little over 2ft), but he packs QUITE a punch... I'm sure the extra 2ft of snake just "add" to the experience. ;)

If you ever get a good bite, you'll understand. It's kinda a "if I have to go through this pain, I better be able to show it off" kind of thing.

Lets She held on for about 3-4 minutes enough to for me to holler for my girl to take a picture. Both hands were full, I didn't want her to coil around my arm and I held her with the other. She eventually let go since I really didn't struggle.
 
Wow! Yo ucan decipher the rows of teeth in the all cleaned up picture.
Does it still hurt now?
Will it bruise as well?

that reminds me, I have a few photos we do need to print up for that. :) thanks.
 
When a snake holds on she is trying to catch you as a meal. Nothing to do with being freaked out. It was a feeding responce. Boa's are great feeders ;) I know all the Boa's I have had had a feeding responce like that. Grab first and then see if it's something she could eat.

I do not think this is a Meal strike, I personally felt that this snake struck at me out of fear and not for food reflex. I think she was asleep in her cage when I woke her up opening up the caging.
 
OUCH!!!! You need to get some sort of a medal for that one! I've been tagged by a slightly larger boa (6 feet) and while I can "blow off" the corn and king bites, I couldn't with the boa as those suckers HURT!

Glad to hear you are faring better than this guy did from his hoggie.

It is interesting there are no bruises...good to hear:)

Next time I need a blood draw at the doctors I am going to jam my arm into a boa's mouth...the lab people can never hit the vein the first round and I always end up with a gigantic bruise:bang:

Do you have a Uro?
 
WoW What a bite!!! It certainly looked like a love bite for changing her water, I agree.

Great pics, lovely snake! But I wouldn't have been so brave!

Thanks for reminding me why I don't want bigger mouths on my snakes!
