I have only been bitten once by my 18month old Bredli and it hurt less than a scratch but from reading the above messages I am not looking forward to getting nipped by him when he gets bigger.
although he is a great handler and has only got me once!

I've heard of a spray bottle with diluted metho makes them let got real quick. Though the story involved a scrub python wrapped around him from the wrist around and around his arm to his shoulder (14ft I think). worst I've copped is a metre long agro spotted python so no crying just crushed ego after having assured a friend it wouldn't bite me.......

| I've heard that shoving the burning end of a lit cigarette into their eye works too, decapitation would also probably be most effective, but like having metho squirted into my mouth, I don't think I'd appreciate it if it was done to me.

hph: I've never heard/read anything about anyone ever getting infections/sick from a python bite. But that's just my experience.
Whenever I get bitten, I just make sure to wash the area immediately and thoroughly with warm soapy water.

Not too sure about this one, but I have read somewhere that putting alcohol into the mouth of the snake can help. You must not put as much in so that it goes down its throat though, so Im guessing you hold its head down.

It is strongly recommended that you don't just wait if it is around your neck.
| LOL Jeff, I'll pay that one
I had a water python attached to my hand a week or two ago and the water method OR the breath method didn't work.

All this is true, Just putting forward what the bloke told me. He is a fan of big pythons and venomous get tagged by a death adder baby and then by an adult three weeks later. I think he likes the shock factor that he can get from people.

i find its easiest to apply pressure behind the head. they nearly always let go. the only trouble is when you have stretchy skin like mine and their teeth get stuck..

| I think you could get an infection if teeth crack off and stay under the skin maybe?
