my python gave me my first bite, totally my own fault wasn't using feeding tongs and i moved the mouse. anyway just wondered if there would be anything in the bite that i could be allergic too. As i am having issues with bite area.

Is it red and inflamed? this happens to me whenever i get bitten off any snake, got tagged by a house snake today, inflamation, but then it subsides, last week it was a water snake, bit more inflamed Laughing

i would think it will just subside to nothing, a cat bite would probs give you more irritation, more people will be along with their input soon, this is just how it affects me Very Happy

i am sure it will be ok Very Happy

Assuming that you gave the bite a good wash, mabe a bit of antiseptic, then there should be no problem. Should be fine tomorrow. Welcome to the club of bitten owners... Wink

Any chance of a photo to show off your wound ? Laughing

just get some form of cleaner on there something like tcp but swelling and stinging is just the norm but a dab of anteseptic will kill any germs
