Recent hognose bite

That could also be a good possibility pyrate

Just wondering how many people have actually seen one verified account of a person having an allergic or anaphylactic reaction to a rear fanged snake bite?

Anyone?

Now it's possible to develop venom allergies under a very specific set of circumstances - namely when you are exposed to the dried residue of front fanged snakes that dribble or deposit it on substrate, it dries and the you inhale it...repeatedly...over many years.

Or, when you have been bitten several times.

The key is exposure. Spontaneous allergies to colubrid venom are almost so rare that some could say the are....well...non-existent.

However they are almost always discussed in these threads.

I have no doubt that people who caution against allergic reactions to colubrid bites have either first hand experience OR have documented proof of actual allergies. I'm just hoping they can share those experiences and documentation with the rest of us.

I had no idea it made The Reptile Report! I feel a little bit famous. Just a little. Lol.

My Hog Nose has been alot better about biting me and in my hands now he's pretty mellow and so cute Hes eating his tiny Pinkies that makes me happy as he had a hard time learning to eat. Here are some pictures of my fearless Big Boy.http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14...c9defc20f8.jpghttp://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14...ba04aa6a35.jpghttp://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14...1f5d5cf103.jpg I love my Hog Nose.

Many people don't even realize Hognose snakes are venomous...

Glad your reaction wasn't any worse.

It's interesting kinda like Bee stings in a way I hope my little guy feels the need to bite me. He's just nippy and then ok when he's out.

Just an update, this snake hates me. She is so aggressive. Open mouth striking any time you come close. Not the hognose nose bump. Crazy.
