Bites from harmless snakes like ball pythons don't really do any damage...their teeth are tiny & cause tiny pin-pricks that may bleed a little...the worst thing to do
is jerk your hand away, as their translucent teeth can break off & stay embedded as splinters, but even that's not common (though most ppl can't help pulling their
hands away) and almost any other pet you can name can do you FAR more harm than a pet snake. I've had some snake bites over many years (hatchlings are the
most frequent for self defense...they're still learning & everything is a threat to them) but have never even had a snake bite become infected, & I typically pay no
attention to them (ie. no antiseptic ointment or bandaids used, lol).
Remember how huge & scary we are to snakes...they really do NOT want to bite us. Be patient & quarantine...the last thing you need is mites or other things going on.
