    My cat spooked mine and I got a bite. I am sure I was envenomated but nothing really notable happened
    Its neat how people react to venom

    Re: Recent hognose bite

    I'm just glad she is so little and I got her off quickly. I was just very surprised by the reaction for sure.

    Why is it that when fingers and what-not swell up, they look shiny? Lol.

    Re: Recent hognose bite

    Was this the first time you have ever been bitten by a hoggie and how much benadryl did you take? You seemed to have a strong local reaction and the benadryl may have kept it from geting worse. Make sure to keep some around just in case.

    I was bitten one other time by my first hoggie but she didn't get the fangs in, it was just a nip. So this was really the first time. I'll be avoiding it for sure lol.

    Just keep some benadryl around and if it ever happens again and you start geting hives, lump in your throat feeling, etc along with the local swelling then you will want either call 911 or get someone to take you the er. I might even say that next time you go to your personal dr, tell them about this and see if they will write you a script for a epi pen that you can keep in the house just in case.

    Re: Recent hognose bite

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

    The reptile report is like the new york times of the reptile community. I know one of the owners is Chad Brown former owner of pro exotics. After his facility burned down due to an electrical fire some years back, he chose to focus on TRR and Ship your reptiles from what I've gathered. they pic interesting stories and cool things to spotlight.

    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.
