It seems I became 'lunch' today...

[AustHerps]

One of our olives (who measured 3 inches short of 8ft a few days ago) decided she was hungry this arvo...

Held on for a good few minutes, wrapped a coil around her head to ensure she pushed her teeth in as far as she could get them as well lol

Enjoy! I did! lol

Cheers,
Austy.

 

[Robbo]

im still hopeing it dosnt happen to me

 

[pythoness]

You look like your lovin' it Austy, well done, nice tag

 

[waruikazi]

haha god work. Maybe you should bite it back lol.

 

[dee4]

Nice one!!:lol:

 

[AustHerps]

lol we'll ya can't keep heaps of snakes without expecting the odd bite here and there... at least it wasn't venomous lol

Actually, that's the worst bite I've ever copped, so I'm pretty lucky

Cheers,
Austy.

thanks austy,its so funny when it happens to someone else.the first thing i did was tell kaz to get out the camera.lol.thats not a smile on austies face, thats a grimace

 

[carpetsnake]

nearly ****ed my pants laughing must off hurt

 

[pythoness]

lol, has anyone ever told you how hot you look in snake skin

 

[Little_Fox]

OUCH!
I got my first bite last night.. but not as good as that one. THANKFULLY. I didn't know removing a shed from the enclosure would upset the little fella... but he obviously wanted to keep it with him a little bit longer.

Thanks for sharing. I will DEFINATELY keep my hands away from Rev's female olive (she scares me as it is with glass between us)

Hahaha yeah but it's sooo funny looking back on it now... pics or it didn't happen mate... and it's a classic shot (definately a keeper!)

Cheers,
Austy.

We tried the water thing with a nearby watertub from the sunning bin...

Didn't work lol... she decided to let go by herself a few minutes later

Cheers,

[coatesy]

I have never been bitten and by the looks of that i don't want to. We have a 7" olive ourselves. Ouch! something not to look foward to.

 

[whiteyluvsrum]

lol, thats gold!
A mates adult olive latched onto his young kids arm and would'nt let go. they tried everything and it would'nt give, so he went to last resort and grabbed kitchen knife and started cutting of its head. cut into flesh and it dropped off, after that the gash healed up fine and carrys a small war scare.

We used running cold water from the tap, a friend of ours had to use an ice pack from her freezer when her 8ft scrub python tagged her

Jeeeze that's a tad extreme... because pythons' teeth face inwards, it's actually pretty easy to pry the head off using something like a chopstick, or ruler...

I'd sooner chop the kids arm off than the snakes head
If all else fails hold the snake under a few feet of water, they have to breath at some pooint

 

[Australis]

Bloody Hell, trying to cut off its head is totally extreme and shameful!!
