Hi all,
I was just wondering, say if a large python bit you hard, would you need to have it checked out by a GP? Could they possibly pass something nasty to you, bacteria maybe?
Cheers,

cheers

Thanks for the info |

But a large python if it got you in the right area could cause some physical damge. I think there are a few people who have had servered arteries from large scrubbies.

Wasn't the bite that hurt but the way he started to constrict my ear. Ran the shower over my head and he released. He only got fed 2 fuzzy on saturday, must still be hungry..............little blighter. |

| | Suspended | Join Date: Jul-06 Location: Sydney Gender: | | | i got tagged by my 4ft costal the other day, pretty good one, bled for a bit. it thought my finger was the mouse and wrapped around it and my hand!!
Because im pregnant, i was a bit worried about the bacteria side of things so i asked my gp the next day if i had to do anything.
He said it would be fine, just to make sure i kept the bite marks clean.
Ive got some pics of the bite on my phone, cant be bothered uploading them now

If in doubt get a tetanus shot. Hurts like hell (the shot that is).
You would'nt want to lick the wound as it would probably be a bit nastier than the bite itself.
