    Re: Tetanus from a snake bite?

    Honestly, she should probably be more worried about tetanus from other things like living in a pretty rural area, actively building and constructing an addition to their house from scratch after the new foundation was laid with all the metal that involves, a substantial produce garden, owning 3 dogs who can free-roam on their 20+ acres of property and 2 cats who do the same (one of whom is a very reliable mouser and likes leaving gifts).

    I think any of those is a more likely tetanus risk than a snake bite that had maybe a 1% chance of happening, probably much less than 1%. And our largest snake right now is a 1400 gram male ball python who would probably be hard pressed to deal an injury of the kind the tetanus bacteria thrives in. I have a few snakes that will outgrow that size with time, but they're young still (male bci, coastal carpet python, couple female BPs).
