My BP thought my finger was the mouse!

[arajara]

More funny than anything.....

Stupid me.... REALLY, I was just asking for it. I put the mouse in just-less-than-a-year-old Nala's 50 gallon tank, and since I had the top open and all, I figured I'd change the water as well...


Well, when I put the water dish back in, she struck me with all of her fierceness. I had been bitten when I first got her, but that wasn't even like being poked by a butter knife.

This time, it actually quite hurt, and there was a good size ball of blood using out of my index finger.


I kind of saw it coming, but just wasn't adverse to it happening... like pain is a great teacher or something.... but I hope it doesn't happen again.

Just thought I'd share.

Welcome to your first SFE (stupid feeding error) LOL. It happens to most of us at some point or other. Wow 50 gallons! That's a big enclosure for a young snake. How is the snake doing with that much space? Lots of extra hides hopefully.

you'll live man glad you're ok

Ha, well it's the day after and I'm having trouble even figuring out which finger was bit....

But boy did it hurt! Is there any type of low-level "rodent" venom whatsoever in the snake??? or is it just a totally dry bite?

[Boarder4l154]

no venom, youre good!

lol.... so i have never been biten by a snake... since u have already experienced it.... from a rate from 1-10 what would u rate the pain lol...

[arajara]

possibly it was a 3... like it hurt more than the average cut, but not as bad as getting burned by a pot or having tooth or head pain.


Anyone else want to rate their previous bites?

My only bite that bled , was from a small BP, it bled a lot but didnt hurt at all.

so 0 / 10

edit: but my big headed females make me wonder what a bite from them would feel like , they have been a little aggressive lately so I guess we will see.

vanessa bit me when she was younger. if 1 was being poked by a butter knife and 10 was being burned by a hot pot or pan it was probably a 3. it was about like a papercut for the first few seconds but then it went away completely. it startled me more than anything.
