BITE

Well i just got my first bite of a big python, she is a 9ft female olive python and i just went to get her out of her enclosure and she was fine at first then she decided i was dinner/lunch and grabbed me on the hand and constricted me i will have photo's of my hand later today bit it did not hurt that much! may have been the half of a slab of black jim beam that i had but it was an experience.

Those Olives can get real nasty after a couple of bourbons.

i must add this is my first bite off a big snake, the biggest before this one was a small juvenile diamond and that bite was only a strike and bite not a bite and constricted. surprisingly i was laughin when it happened and yelling get the camera.

The bite marks don't look to bad, though the swelling is impressive.

Cool stuff Rick I love the photos! Looks like she enjoyed giving you a little nibble!

After 14 months I bet you were a little shocked with her doing that to you! hee hee!
