 Painful question!

What does it feel like when a green tree python bites you does make you wanna cry or is it painful enough to make you jump.

 Painful question!

i guess that all depends on how big it is! now i don’t know much about them but i the reptile shop i go to has two of them(housed seperatly of course) and the owner has told me his male green tree is a biter he said it does hurt.

they had a baby in the store too i held it once and it was realitvly calm. but i would assume if the snake is 3 foot it could send out a powerful bite. but any bit form animal can be painful! all depends on the animal if you ask me.

i think the GTP is a very good looking snake but they are too high mantice for me! i have a hard enough time keeping the humdity for my ball and my carpet.

 Painful question!

LOL, funny question to me!!! I’d say I’ve been tagged at least a couple dozen times by gtps, most bites have been from babies, a few juvies and only a couple adults. Their teeth are long, but it’s a comparitive thing... they’re pretty small snakes, so the longest teeth still aren’t anywhere near as intimidating as the teeth on an adult burm or retic.

The trick when getting bit by a snake is to not pull back, this top pic is of a baby that was actually latched on pretty good and chewing. I had a chance to go get camera, put in memory card, fresh battery and still get the pic before it decided to stop chewing. I barely felt it and was thinking it was no way tough enough to hurt me..... YET!!

The bottom pic was an accidental bite from an adult male, I was treating his mouth and he started to slide off my lap, his teeth just raked through my finger and cut it quite deeply. The nerves are still damaged to this day and I’ve got a fairly wicked scar across that darn finger. This DID hurt a bit more than the regular bite.

Most bites from gtps are warning strikes and not really painful at all, getting a shot at the dr. is worse. It’s when you get tagged accidentally at feeding time that they really sink their teeth into you and it hurts a bit more. Fortunately those are the most avoidable bites if you use care while feeding.

What is that, the middle finger? I thought fuzzies were the next step after pinkies.

I have been recently been bitten by my 8 ft Blue beauty and my 3 ft GTP, I would have to say the GTP hurt more. They have a lot more clamp to their bite. The Blue beauty bit me when i first got him (from someone who did not want him, he was wild caught). The GTP bit me when I was helping him with a small part of a stuck shed. Both CLAMPED on and chewed, and the GTP had a lot more force without a doubt. The Blue left no bruises the GTP did...
