nope, never had any antivenom administered. the swelling didnt progress too much after i got to the hospital and after a couple hours they let me go. it hurt like hell though.
So no venom was injected? That is called a 'dry' bite.

i guess boidfinatic missed the part about you squeezing most of the venom out and assumed because no antivenom was given that there was not venom injected.

LOL...in the last week, I have gotten tagged by my pastel ball python, the little brazilian rainbow boa, and one of my coastal carpets ;) No big deal...it is just something that comes along with keeping snakes....and to tell you the truth...unless the snake is venomous, I would rather be bitten by a snake than some lizards any day of the week....I have lost more blood to common fence lizards than all of my snakes put together ;)
....Marshall...you need to pick you up a Sawyer Extractor....I carry one at ALL times ;)

There was an independent experiment done with the extractors on pigs that were injected with crotalus venom. They concluded that the extractors were actually WORSE than using nothing at all. I'll see if I can find a link...
Cat: My cat sheba has bitten me more time than I care to count.
Leopard Gecko: Spot will clamp on if you pick him up to quickly.
Never been bitten by my BP's but got bit by a hatchling Ablino burm a the reptile store here
Oh and the fun one a 6' wild black rat snake. :snake2: Totaly my fault I was getting him out of my bird house in the back yard and he was in blue and whack, Whack whack. Three good bite and grind bites. Bled like a stuck pig.

I keep the number to posion control on the wall of my herp room even though I don't keep hots I run across them in the yard and transprot them to a better place. I take all precautions with hots by never free handing and keeping them in a hot certified puncture proff bag ( I got that from a friend of mine at the zoo here in jackson.)
