How do you remove a BP if it bite you and locked on you..

My only bite and locks have been from kingsnakes, and they never let go! So I just grab two credit cards and gently push them between my hand/finger and their teeth, then once their in place you can slip your finger out.

Are you crazy?? I'll take a shot of whiskey and use option #4...... LOL!!!
:rolleye2:
J/K I have heard the whiskey method before.

I've only been locked onto once, not by a bp. But since I was with someone, he just grabbed some business cards and slowly slid them underneath the snake's jaws and he let go.

Otherwise the cold water option sounds pretty good if you are by yourself.

Ha ha, I just had the unfortunate experience of a 500-ish gram male constricting my hand a few weeks ago. Total feeding error on my part (sort of). He went to strike the f/t rat and LEAPT out of the tub and as a reaction I put my had out to prevent him from falling to the floor. He was saved by the back of my thumb right in his mouth. Before I knew it he decided to "kill" my hand. I was alone at the time and was like "now what?!". When I tried to unwrap him he just constricted more. I tried cold water and it seemed to make him relax a bit but when I tried unwrapping him he just tightened up again. I finally got him to release me by gently unhooking his top teeth from my thumb by sliding my nail slowly down the front of his teeth. Once I got the top teeth detached he popped his bottom teeth out and at that point I unwrapped him. It was an interesting experience for the both of us.

Oh, and using business cards works pretty well too, lol. I did that when a Tokay gecko clamped on to my finger.

how do you open her mouth? is it by squeezing the jaw part?

how do you use that business card again? can you be a bit specific on the procedure? i kinda dont get it how you could actually slide it in there.. is this from the side or, i sorta dont get it :D

I have never had a BP latch on and not let go, but I got nailed by our huge Taiwan Beauty and she would NOT let go.She had a full mouth bite and was trying to work the side of my hand into her mouth. OUCH!! We tried the water, the cc, and blowing into her face. Guess I tasted good. So I had my roommate put a bit of wine on his finger and touch her nose and she let go fast. Guess my girl is a teetotaler :D

the only time i've actually received a bite and coil, i ran straight to the bathtub and ran cold water, and dunked the snake underneath. boooooooy did she let go in a hurry!!

i would never, EVER recommend hot water.

well going though several bite from different snakes I found that a modify version of #3 works. I place to butter knives wit hthe edge facing out and slide them between the teeth and my skin works best. if the snake in question has placed coils on my arm ( this when it hurts more since they pulling with those teeth lol) I simple unwind the sanke fro mthe the tail forwards. then use said knive never jab them in there just slowly work them from the front back works best. the edge part out cause this prevents a tooth from getting jammed/ broken by the edge.

BP's are not so bad and they let go fast. Now Boas, I have had them not let go. For them I keep a bottle of listerine diluted 50/50 with water. A little of that and they let go the bite. It is also good for cleaning their mouths if they get mouth rot.
