I have a yearling and have been tagged only a handfull of times and I usally don't even know I've been bit until I see the tiny teeth marks. You would have to talk to some else about getting hit by a adult.

I have only been bitten by a hatchling and even that left small teeth marks on my finger.
My worst bite came from my mad tree boa which recently got me on the palm of my hand.
My adults dont seem to strike unless it is after dark, that is why i clean the cages out and carry out general maintenance during the day, they will then just normally hide their heads in their curls.

Babies dont really hurt
And adults arent all that bad, a little blood and a little pain but I'd take an adult chondro bite over a rat bite anyday.
