Entertainment like this can be found at any number of other sites. I believe I speak for 99% of the members here when I say that we love bp.net because it does not usually have this sort of "entertainment."

The Internet is full of poisonous forums, even many of the informative ones. Even forums with strict TOS's and complicated warning/banning systems. THIS forum is different not because of the written rules or fancy software. It's different because the community works hard to respect the individuals that correspond here.

I don't mind joking around at all. But lets be honest, what was going on here was nothing short of flaming, which isn't very welcome at even the worst of forums.

You guys and gals want to see some horrific bite photos; go to www.tongs.com and click on photos.

Thanks for the link. I Think just looking at those photos prolonged my thoughts or plans of owning any hots for a while now. Hots are definitely creatures that demand respect. :shock:

Hloy crapola! Those are some gruesome shots! I would swear by tongs if I kept venomous.

It's unfortunate that most of them have no background on what caused the wound or what treatment was administered, etc. And maybe I'm picky, but I don't think a pic of a gator being cut open to remove a human really belongs under a link labeled 'snake bite wounds'. They are really good shots, but would have more value with more information. The necrotizing of tissue is fascinating and frightening.

bittenonce .. please check your pm's.

Two words for those who think that the bashing here is cool, Grow Up. This is not the place for juvinile male posturing. We are here to help oneanother and learn from eachother, as well as have good clean exchanges. If you must carry on such shenanigans keep it between yoursleves and do not subject the rest of us to it. We don't want to know, nor do we care. I know I didn't join this forum to endure this rediculous male or female swaggering. I know most of you who posted responces agree with me, so this message is not so much for you as for those reponsible and thos ewho are apt to follow in thier footsteps.

As for the bite, looks like an humdinger. That sort of thing is what scares the crap out of me and why I do not own a single venomous animal. I spent most of my llife in a country where there is only one venomous snake animal and it was very isolated, so the US scares me to death. haha, I used to just pick spiders up and take them outside, now they are lucky if I let them live one instand in my line of vision.

ooooooo... ouch. i think i'll stick with non-hots.... im sure i'll cry when my snakes bite me for the first time. i mean come on, i get the sniffles when i stub my toe... ;)
