Recent hognose bite

Just wondering how many people have actually seen one verified account of a person having an allergic or anaphylactic reaction to a rear fanged snake bite?

Anyone?

Now it's possible to develop venom allergies under a very specific set of circumstances - namely when you are exposed to the dried residue of front fanged snakes that dribble or deposit it on substrate, it dries and the you inhale it...repeatedly...over many years.

Or, when you have been bitten several times.

The key is exposure. Spontaneous allergies to colubrid venom are almost so rare that some could say the are....well...non-existent.

However they are almost always discussed in these threads.

I have no doubt that people who caution against allergic reactions to colubrid bites have either first hand experience OR have documented proof of actual allergies. I'm just hoping they can share those experiences and documentation with the rest of us.

Did anyone else notice this thread got recognized on Facebook by the reptile report?
Does someone on the tread run the page? Just curious.

Pretty sure JLC runs and/or admins both BP.net and Reptile Report so threads on this site will get posted and a decent amount of attention on TRR as well.

Our very own JLC (Judy) one of our admins, part owner of Ball-Pythons.net works for The reptile report, she is their Editor in Chief

My Hog Nose has been alot better about biting me and in my hands now he's pretty mellow and so cute Hes eating his tiny Pinkies that makes me happy as he had a hard time learning to eat. Here are some pictures of my fearless Big Boy. I love my Hog Nose.

Many people don't even realize Hognose snakes are venomous...

Glad your reaction wasn't any worse.

It's interesting kinda like Bee stings in a way I hope my little guy feels the need to bite me. He's just nippy and then ok when he's out.

Just an update, this snake hates me. She is so aggressive. Open mouth striking any time you come close. Not the hognose nose bump. Crazy.
