First snake bite! (very graphic, lots of blood)

Hopefully I will be able to finish typing out this thread before I pass out from blood loss. I should probably be calling 911, but instead I thought I would share with my fellow herpers this horrific incident. I was feeding my 2011 hatchlings and I foolishly decided to move my 100 gram pastel yellowbellies water dish while also dangling a delicious rat pup over her head. There wasn't much room for error in a 15qt and I got snagged.

SO MUCH BLOOD, just look at it all. I hope I didn't make any of you loose your dinner from these very graphic pictures.

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

OMG!!! I hope you don't lose the hand:O:O:O

That looks dangerous! Get to a hospital ASAP! :rofl::rofl:

Oh, that's awful.

I got queasy just looking at it. That has to be in the top 5 worst ball python bites I've ever seen.

Do you think you'll need a transfusion ?

Please update us when you get back from the ER. I hope the ambulance ride was not too expensive! :O

Inconspicuous flipping of the bird.

But seriously, I think you should really get that checked out. I'd take that down if you could, this is gold for the people trying to ban pythons.

In my professional opinion you need some stitches for that. I hope the hospital get you fixed up quickly. :rofl:
