How to care for bite!

When i was feeding my ball python i dropped the mouse and he striked at me instead -_- this is the first bite i ever had from my ball python , and it was obviously my fault, but is there any special procedures i should do to clean the bite? Or should i just treat it like any other cut (peroxide, polysporin and bandaid).:confusd:

Yes, just basic wound/cut care. Clean, disinfect, bandage.

And congrats, I got my first bite on Saturday night, but nothing to show for it.

Bite pics please - oh, and welcome to the bite club :gj:

ER VISIT STAT!!! You're going to bleed out!!!

Kidding. As has been stated, general cut care. Grats on the first bite :) I haven't gotten mine from my personal collection yet, but over the past 15 years of herping, I've had my fair share, bp bites (and kings/corns) were always the easiest/best ones. I think you'll make a full recovery ;) :D

Honestly you cant even see it except for a very faint bruise; just like i got a needle!
