Getting bit

[ClarkT]

It's pretty funny, though, when you get bit--because it's nothing! It's kinda like, "oh, that's all you got? Ha Ha!"

i have always thought that getting bit by your BP is all that painful.

On the other hand my husband about 8 years ago had a 4ft male red tail that got stuck on his face. Mainly his left tear duct and the white of his eye and stuck there for an hour.

Waow, that's...kinda horrific, actually. O.O

I've never been bit by a ball python. But I have been bitten several times by dogs and I'd imagine a snake bite wont hurt that bad.. they dont really have that crushing power that other animals have. And their teeth are razor sharp, i think duller bigger teeth make it hurt more lol I got bit by one of my garfish when i was a kid and i hardly noticed that until it started itching and they seem to have teeth similar to snake teeth.


But I dont think it's very smart to compare pain of a bee sting to pain of .. anything. the pain from a bee sting is just a immune response reacting to the toxins in the venom. And everyone reacts a little differently. Some people bee stings dont hurt much at all and some people they hurt like hell, like me for instance, I have no fear of bees but when I get stung it swells up like a golf ball and hurts worse than when i had a brick fall from 9ft up and land on my head. I actually have a little pet wasp nest in an aquarium next to my fishtank haha.

I guess I just got good reflexes o_o coz I had 28 snakes at one time at one point and got struck at plenty of times, and I'd go catch rat snakes and big fat garters but I always manage to dodge out of the way or grab it before it can land a hit.. I kinda wish Id have failed to dodge and actually got bit by a larger snake I'm curious what it feels like. I'm more afraid of the latching on and coiling than the actual bite.

One more reason NOT to let a snake get anywhere near your face.
