Silly dude CHOMPED me

68 points · submitted Aug 2025 by u/FeriQueen · nsfw · archived

Sweetie smelled the juicy yummy rat that my daughter was heating up in the kitchen, and he got excited. The finger later turned a really dark purple. This is right after the bite. Picture 3 is of the culprit, trying as usual to swallow his rat through a U-bent throat. Picture 4 shows a bit of the splatter.

Didn’t feel good, but didn’t need more than soap and water. I was laughing my ass off at his puzzled expression afterward. He actually does deserve his name, he’s just none too bright. This was his 2nd chomp in the 23 years since we adopted him as a rescue.

haha you aren't a true snake owner if you don't get bit at least a few times

FeriQueen [OP] 4 points · Aug 2025

Every other snake I’ve ever had has bitten me exactly once. Part of having these wonderful creatures in one’s life.

Mine but me once when he was little. Totally my fault too. Hope you're having a bite free day today 😂

23 years! That’s so awesome!

These guys can live a long time, if well cared for. Of course, not all do: they can get cancer and cataracts and other ills just like any animal. But it’s not unusual for them to live 30 years or longer. There’s a snake in a zoo in, I believe, St. Louis, who is at least 60 and I believe may be 70 by now.

Both my ball pythons have a very good chance of outliving me, but I my daughter will be happy to take care of them after I go to the Great Beyond.

Oh I know they’re able to live quite a long time. I just meant that I love that you’ve had that much time with him! I’m 33 and there’s nothing in my life other than my parents and siblings that I’ve had since I was 10.

I love the idea that my wife and I could still have our noodles when we’re in our 60s. For some reason, it makes getting older seem less frightening.

When my noodles get me, the pain is more mental than physical. I feel sorry for the rest of the day.

Not sure where you're located but I just wanted to let you know that Feri is a masculine first name in Hungarian so when I saw your username it gave me a good chuckle XD

Yeah, it actually bled quite profusely for a few minutes, despite being pretty much a nothing injury.
