What to do if your bitten by a non venomous snake?

[ConorLawrence]

Hey , Ive already posted a thread which was can a BHP eat a dog and you guys seemed to be able to adequately answer my questions so a new question I have is what to do if the the snake decides to bite me and I know at some point (probably sometime in the first week) this will happen. This idea does not scare me in the slightest but I just want to know the best way to get the snake off to not hurt the snake or maybe I need to just let it bite me until it stops, idk. Obviously different sizes mean different situations.

Unless its a feeding response it will let go, and also take pics and post on here

Run it under the tap.

Run it under the cold water tap, it will let go. Photo's are a must!

 

[dani_boy]

if its a feeding bite ive heard putting strong alcohol near the nose or Listerine works

 

[Jay84]

I wouldn't be putting those near my snakes mouth. Just run it under a cold tap as suggested or just wait till it lets go.

some keeper use metho.. dab it on YOUR arm/hand (not on the snake) infront of its nose it should let go.. use running water(cold)on the head of the snake.. ive never needed either as they usually let go...

 

[Mighty_Moose]

Don't use metho ! It might make the snake let go before you get the pics! See I always thought that the snake (if its a feeding response) will eventually figure out that it can't eat you and let go.

quick! suck out the poison

 

[congo_python]

After the bite I pour metho on the bite site to 'disinfect' it if you will.

The best thing to do if there are people around who see it and who don't know much about snakes is to fall over and play dead.

My spotted bites me quite often when he is hungry or stressed and he is very hard to get off. I think he was trying to swallow my pinky finger once. same name same look I guess..lol. I usually run him under cool water or another method ive found works really well is a few squirts with a spay bottle with water in it.
Stick with it though they get better!!

If you do get rabies, you probably won't get other diseases because it's incurable once symptoms set in... and you die!
