I know im going to sooner or later i just want to know if it hurts when they get older. I dont even care if she does now.. Shes too tiny for me to really care..
And as soon as i can hold her ill post some pics..
I need to know for sure what she is anyway.. :p
 
It's not too bad to be bitten by an adult. I was bitten by my 5 year old cornsnake yesterday and it didn't ever require stitches. I still throbs a little but nothing I can't handle with Tylenol. I had an albino that bit me last year and I ended up spending the whole afternoon in the Emergency Room but they didn't keep me over night.

I don't worry too much about it.
 
That's it, Wade? Geez, I had to spend two days in the hospital with IV antibiotics and it was still touch and go as to whether or not I'd lose my finger. After six months, I'm starting to get a bit of feeling in my hand again.

So no, the bite's not too bad.



:roflmao: I'm totally joking with you. It's about like a kitten bite, but it's startling, that's all. ;)
 
You’re lucky you didn’t get Necrotizing fasciitis. I’ve heard of people loosing whole hand and even arms. Imagine if one got ahold of your face.

Thanks,
I hope i dont look like a boy :mad:
And im not a sissy, Im sure breaking your ankle is worse than being bitten by a corn snake and yeah breaking your ankle hurts like a bitch but its nothing to cry over.
 
LMAO! No, you don't look like a boy. Wade just has these....moments....you know? Nothing to worry about. :laugh:
 
LOL...you guys are hilarious! My 17-yr-old is constantly getting bit by the bigger snakes (tho, they never seem to bother anyone else...just him! I tell him he must smell like rat to them.), he has to SQUEEZE the area to even get any blood out of it!

And yes, a puppy or kitten's bite is worse than a snake. Sometimes they just like to hang on for awhile is all. ;)

Ok good, Everyone I've seen or read on the internet said it hurts but nothing horrible then he says its like going through child birth im like damn. Is everyone lying?
 
It really doesn't hurt much at all, but like I said, it's startling, and if you really jerk, you can end up pulling out one of their tiny teeth. Once you get used to it, you'll find yourself yelling for someone to get the camera before prying them off.

Aw come on, wussy. It didn't hurt! And that was from a pretty good size adult, too! :roflmao:
 
In my experience with snakes,I've only been bitten once. That was by my 5 1/2ft female boa. Didn't hurt at all. Just scared the crap outta me. I think a cat or puupy bite would hurt much worse though wouldn't be as much startling.

LOL...yes, they are messing with you. Kinda' like freshman hazing, I guess.

Tho, I *am* wondering why you would think that your little baby will eventually bite you? You planning to hand feed it when it's older or something?
Normally, a "pet" corn that gets handled quite a bit (talking in comparison to a breeder, mynd you) isn't predisposed to biting...takes some agitation, if you know what I mean. (Or, say, you forget to wash the smell of rodent off of your hand before trying to pick up a very hungry snake!)
