Show us a battle wounds!

[The-Freak]

I thought it would be fun to have a thread where we all post our "battle wounds" from our pets.. What ever they may be. I'll start with mine, its nothing exciting but its all I got, hehe. I got these from my Atherton, Monty. I guess I hadn't washed the rat smell of properly, I even pulled one of his little teeth out of my finger, poor Monty!

Ouch!!!!!!
Sorry I have no photos but I wanted to ask you something!!!
My mum takes care of our neighbours snake as it is quite nasty due to previous owner care, and it bites as soon as you even but a finger in the cage. Anyway, my mum was handling it for a week or so, and realised her hand was incredibly itchy. I was wondering if snakes had a small amount of venim in them still, or is it something else causing the slightly red, puffy and itchy hand????

You all need a band-aid!

 

[mysnakesau]

I am not normally a show off but this one here could use a band aid..

Can't find my next few days photos where I had a week of lovely black hand and arm. Didn't look like something a little mouth could do...hehe...well, his was 8ft at the time, still, the bruise looked like I was hit by a cricket ball, not bitten by a snake.

Very nice! a hungry feeding bite is the worst I reckon lol

Took me half hour to finally get him onto the rat. Everytime I tried to unwind him off my arm he'd wrap tighter and the head was coming back looking for another chance. I got his mouth off my arm using the handle of a wooden spoon. Gently much firmly slid it between my skin and the corner of his mouth. Next chew he finally let go but unwinding him was hard. But my daughter gave the rat a warm up under the hot water tap and brought it back. He finally got the right idea and unwound himself from my arm so he could kill the dead rat. Not normally a biting snake, he is a very placid python. It was my fault that I checked his thawing rat and then went to remove him from his enclosure because he lives with another snake. I never gave it a thought to wash my hands beforehand, and this is what happen.

Wow love all the photos so far, my gosh, Mysnakesau you deserve a medal for that! I like my fav is the left over bruise/teeth marks, haha! Thats one hungry bite

Mysnakesau, that first pic is funny as. I bet the snake felt pretty stupid once it found out it missed the rat.

In future just blow air into the snakes mouth, if that fails a dab of spirits or vinegar should do the trick. Although leaving it on to squeeze out more blood makes for more interesting pics :lol: If you stay still long enough they will let go and try and find a better angle to eat you.

I find placid snakes are the ones most likely to get you with a feeding bite.

my adult lacey bite hurt like crap and made a mess of me!!

Here's a next day photo, bruise was still growing here. Size wise didn't change much more but it was very dark after a few days and took a week or so to start to disappear.
