    Those were my 2 bites and it makes perfect sense. My boa could have been 50 pounds and not come remotely close to doing that damage. As I later went on to explain and also did in the first post mentioned smaller animals still pack a punch. My bother in law was shredded by a Bicion mix and had his hand stitched.

    My bite? Large dog yes but dangerous isn't a fitting label as that dog was very stable. An accidental bite was the issue.

    I mentioned birds rats and cats all common and well thought of pets being every bit as capable of doing damage. The truth is snakes are in cages most of the time and the likelihood of being bitten is minimal with precautions.

    There are plenty of snake bite pictures on the web and only a very few from the the largest of snakes show anything remarkable.

    It still holds true that snake bites are in MOST cases minor and cause less trauma than bites from other standard pets. It's indisputable and very much based on the mechanics and purpose of their mouths.

    Take your pick, as it was mentioned here by another member, an 80 pound dog or 80 pound snake. I can tell you which will damage you more.

    You've done a wonderful job draining the "general" point "spirit" of this topic.

    Enjoy having the last word as that appears to be your end goal.
