...can't speak on being bitten by an adult - being bitten by a juvenile is laughable though...
...I was a bit jumpy before my first bite - and probably still am somewhat - but it over before you react and I didn't feel a thing...killed myself laughing at being so concerned...
it looks worse than it feels just dont panic they let go pretty quickly but try to get a photo if they do i can never get the camera with a snake hanging off your hand
I was bitten by my adult spotted and i didn't even feel it. I only noticed he was hanging on to my when i looked at him to see why he wasn't moving (had him on my hand while checking e-mails).
I believe a bigger python would be similar if it was a clean grab with no pulling. The most painful bite you could receive from a big pythong would be one that you pull hard away from because that will result in you getting lacerated/cut/scratched. If it's a clean bite it will just sting alittle like being pricked by lots of pins at once. Ever put your hand on a spiky bush/shrub like a hakea or something?? I imagine it would be similar to that.
