Yes they do bite, but there very docile animals so i shouldn't worry:)
If you get bitten, don't try to get it off of you,
or yank his head back because their fangs are
curved like hooks.
Grab it either side of its chin and push its head forward
(so his fangs are out of you) and get him/her off you.

∙ 13y agoBall pythons rarely bite if they feel threatened, and only as a last resort. Most likely your ball python thought you were a rat, and bit you hoping for food.
