Haha; only on a snake forum do people congratulate you for a bite!
It's not actively bleeding anymore, but is rather purple and sore. I'm keeping it tightly bandaged, but will get it checked out if there's no improvement by the weekend. I have good insurance, so why not? Speaking of which, yeah, those root canals ain't cheap. I didn't even have to get crowns (one already had a crown), and it was still $700 AFTER my insurance covered another $2000... totally ate up my benefits for this year, so hopefully my teeth will behave until January.
