Treating a Snake Bite
January 11th 2010 21:49
Whether you're concerned that your pet snake will bite you or you're just doing to research to make sure that you know how to handle the situation, it's always a good thing to know what to do. First off, even if you're snake is non-venomous, you don't want to play around and say it's ok to get bit. Those people who are not scared of getting bit by their pet snakes are more likely to have less fear of any snake, as sub-consciously they're just not thinking about it.
Any snake can and will bite under the right circumstances, so just because you've got a non-venomous, docile temperament snake, that doesn't mean you won't ever get bit.
Ball pythons are considered one of the most docile pet snakes, and mine is pretty docile, but he's bitten me. I have heard of several cases where a pet ball python bit the owner. Sometimes it's accident. Sometimes it's food and hunger. No matter what the case is, if you're going to have a pet snake, you need to make sure that you know proper treatment and prevention to snake bites.
