How to care for bite!

[shania_09]

When i was feeding my ball python i dropped the mouse and he striked at me instead -_- this is the first bite i ever had from my ball python , and it was obviously my fault, but is there any special procedures i should do to clean the bite? Or should i just treat it like any other cut (peroxide, polysporin and bandaid).

Yes, just basic wound/cut care. Clean, disinfect, bandage.

And congrats, I got my first bite on Saturday night, but nothing to show for it.

ER VISIT STAT!!! You're going to bleed out!!!

Kidding. As has been stated, general cut care. Grats on the first bite I haven't gotten mine from my personal collection yet, but over the past 15 years of herping, I've had my fair share, bp bites (and kings/corns) were always the easiest/best ones. I think you'll make a full recovery

Honestly you cant even see it except for a very faint bruise; just like i got a needle!
