Got Bit!

[enginee837]

Yikes! x_x I had to look up the teeth on those guys, I cannot imagine. Seeing as this boa's bite was aching quite a bit for the first few minutes, and I can imagine a Burm hurting even more... then to think it could hurt more than that.. no thank you. Lol

Obviously my bite looks like nothing now, just a bunch of pin pricks all over my fingers, haha, and that little bruise. There is one spot, evidence of my instinctive yank, where it looks more like a velociraptor the size of a mouse scratched me, poor guy! God, even though it lasted 2 seconds at the max, the sound of the teeth ripping out was intense.

I'm one to try and avoid bites, like, REALLY avoid them.. At all costs. I am not a fan, lol. A snake has to earn my trust.... ��

Ya it has been my experience the arborial snakes tend to have longer teeth. They don't tear and make you bleed as much but they are the equivalent of hitting about 50 inter-muscular shots of varying depths in the same 6" square area. The muscle aches for a while.

The scrub python that got me was fairly tame for a scrub python. He was just chilling on my arm and shoulders when it happened. He did not strike or hiss. He slowly turned his head and got close enough to my fore arm that his tongue would touch it then for no reason and in what seemed like slow motion he opened his mouth, bit down, released and went back to his normal chill self.

I guess it was his way ofor reminding me that although he was cool with me he could ruin my day if he wanted to.
