Dont underestimate venom

[westaussie]

Here is a pic of my hand after a hatchling mulga snake had a little bit of a chew on me - the snake was only about 30 cm long.
This bite led to hospitalisation and an operation was needed.

That's full on West Aussie - how long ago was that? - and do you have any scarring because of it?

Whoah, looks like the suta suta bite I saw.Was the action of the venom very painful... I know a bloke who lets himself get bitten by baby death adders on the thumb...maybe he shouldnt do it anymore :S

 

[westaussie]

King browns tend to chew a bit - its a couple of months old , one of my problem feeders although he does seem to like fingers !

There are a few terms that i think would apply to this person but there is some kind of filter on this list.
The venom from a death adder is very different in its effects to that of the pseudechis group. it obviously from what you say causes some major thought process problems(brain damage). Perhaps Toxi could illuminate us if he's around.

westaussie i am not on drugs heres a website that says what the carpet python does when it bites you http://www.qmuseum.qld.gov.au/features/snakes/seq/boidae.asp

Spotted... um that site states they cause "LACERATIONS" not what your stating..
Lacerations are cuts which are caused from the backward facing sharp pointy things (teeth)

cheers

 

[spottedpython]

well sorry yous are all forgetting i have got a diasblity here its not my fault i didn't understand it

 

[westaussie]

westaussie i am not on drugs heres a website that says what the carpet python does when it bites you

I cant believe that I am explaining this but ............

The site that you read states this "non-venomous
bite causes lacerations"

lacerations is a big word like wheelbarrow. It means "deep cuts"
This has nothing to do with the word "Hallucinations" which are often associated with psychodelic drugs like L.S.D or magic mushrooms. I have been bitten countless times by carpet pythons and unfortunately have never had any trippy experiences as a result of any python bite.

 

[RAZZA]

Westaussie.. listen mate if you do have any trippy times with python bites can you let us know..so we can replicate ourselves saves buying the other things :lol:

 

[westaussie]

How much would you pay for one of my "offyaheaded pythons"

 

[RAZZA]

:lol: I'm sure some would pay a fair price.... Depends like off ya face or really wacked out there.. ???
