-how serious can bite be to you ?

Not that serious

-what should you do if it does bite you?

Don't drop the snake

-can a full grown BP, crush your arm when handling it ?

Not even close. Might be able to turn your fingers purple if it really tried, but nothing serious.

-are they fast snakes, i mean if you let him loose beside you, can he take off and hide away in seconds ?

An adult couldn't. The babies could be suprisingly fast if they get under something.



just curious cause i'm looking at some of the pics of BP and they look quite big !

Well.. they're sort of... fat! But not that long really.



thx for any help
