toothpaste and stuff

[Emilie]

OK, my 11 and 12 year olds just told me they`ve seen on snakebite tv or something like that, that if you have a snappy little snake, just put toothpaste on your hands and it wont tag you ???? So what about that??? Just put your hans in the enclosure though, don't pick it up

ive got a cranky jungle here if you would like to try it out

Heard the same about clove oil, but knowing how it burns the hell out of my mouth when i have a tooth ache i dont think id like to inflict that much pain on my little stimmi.

Try a cup of concrete , works a treat

Agree, if you don't wanna get bit then don't get a snake, simple as that really.

yeah he says snakes dont like the taste of alcahol from mouthwash, its to help them release if they have a good grip on your hand/finger ect. i havnt seen the bit bout the toothpaste but he did test alot of methods and none worked to STOP them biting you... although i may have missed an ep.

same if you have hand sanitizer, waft it under there noses, little drop near their mouth and they'll let go..

 

[bigfella77]

I always use hand sanitizer before handling, not to stop biting but to stop transfering any germs to the snake. Although I must say I have never been bit "yet", this maybe the reason.

I was told vinegar by a lovely person on this site , it works . My snappy , guarenteed to bite everytime spotted now only bites when she gets to my elbow , cause I guess thats where the vinegar stops lol .

More worried about getting him off my finger without damaging the mouth than an actual bite.

No Vinegar is an acid and can do the same type of damage like putting oil onto a burn the best way to help a burn is water to begin with then aloe vera or papaya oitment.

I have heard of water or mouthwash is a good to release a snake from your body
