My Burma Bit me :(

Not as bad as the retic bite .. that looked sore!

he was just letting you know how much he loves you. I had one of mine do a little bluff strike at me yesterday and I had to check myself to make sure she actually didnt bite me but I can tell you I jumped back a few feet lol. All a part of keeping snakes if you have them eventually you are going to be bitten lol

This is the worst bite Ive ever gotten. Its the only one that ever required stitches.

Ouch!!!

Stitches? For that? Holy Heat Pit Snake Man, that's incredibulous.

Why back in The Day, we'd a just slapped some SuperGlue on it to close it up, wrapped in in Duct Tape to keep in clean and went on our merry way.

Stitches.....heh....bunch a pansies nowadays, these people and their blood....of course the back of the hand is going to bleed profusely. Have you ever actually looked at the number of veins just under the skin on he back of your hand.

Shoot, we didn't even bother cleaning up the blood, we just walked through it until it dried up and blew away, we did, back then, when not just any sissynanny could get a snake like that. And not because they weren't available, they were. But you had to have a .....certain something, a casual regard for life, that owners today just don't have to have.

Now, all you need is a hundred bucks and a 10 gallon tank and you're a keeper.

Ah well, it's got to be close to beer o'clock....it's got to be, being so thirsty and all.

We used to dump some gasoline on the wound, grab a wooden dowel (optional) to chew on, and light a match.

Glad to say I haven't had any bad bites, only have been bit once, and I had to little dribbles of blood.

I prefer to use gunpowder. Its quicker and no gas smell. :)

Oh heck, that ain't nuthin. If it was cauterizization we wuz after, we'd just take a styrofoam cup and melt it onto the the bite. Sealed it right up. Cover with duct tape to keep it clean, and back to work.

We tried the gas thing a time or two but couldn't remember to keep marshmallows around for the inevitable torching of the floor where the gas spilled.

The home made napalm worked wayyyyy better and didn't smell near as bad as burning gas.

LOL you guys are nuts, even though I know you all are kidding. One way i've noticed that if you ever get tagged by something venomous, and/or want to stop bleeding, use ice cubes. Ice cubes thicken the blood.
