Hmmmm I don’t know about that, BYC my frown upon porn chicks….

depth? Almost all snakes have extremely tiny teeth with only a couple exceptions. Eastern rat snake for an example. View attachment 3957636
And where did you get that statistics from? I know that those weren’t right but I just checked with multiple highly educated and experienced reptile keepers, one of which had been keeping for decades and has had well over a 100 snakes and all agreed that those statistics are completely untrue.

@Logar , there are a coupe of things you should probably consider next time:

First, @BY Bob is quite knowledgable in the medical field.

Second, you shouldn't essentially 'call-out' someone without first doing your due diligence and researching first. While a few local reputable snake handlers may have a different experience, it doesn't make it universal. (Yes, I am a statistician - you can't use a tiny sample of an isolate group and assume that the results will be the same when you significantly expand the 'base population' you will apply it to. Plus, a very small sample is inherently bad predictor for the larger population because it can be skewed drastically if it includes just one outlier

Here is a study/systematic review of multiple studies regarding this.

I am sure you could find additional information that is reputable. There is a wide variation between results - which could have to do with snake type, depth of bite, etc. But, regardless, it is a known fact that small diameter puncture wounds are very hard to properly cleanse to rinse out/flush out/disinfect the wound.

And, yes, I researched and found a couple of studies prior to me responding. This systematic review of multiple studies, in my opinion, holds the most weight because it includes multiple samples - making for a larger pool, and a more comprehensive and verifiable result. (i.e. if one study was not conducted well, it might be refuted by results of other studies...so looking across the board at multiple studies generally gives a broader and more accurate overall picture of reality.)

He was a good looking boy.

This is Poppet's daddy? WOWEE! what a beauty!!!

And the small teeth would not necessarily leave any marks that would worry a person until to late.

Hence the child dying from Rabies here. There was a bat caught in the child’s room, the parents didn’t see any bite marks so assumed the child was ok. Until the child started showing symptoms of rabies.

Death sentence. Could have been prevented with 3 shots of post exposure rabies vax.


People if there is one thing you do for your pets, get them vaccinated for rabies - for you sake and theirs. It’s 100% preventable, but if not it is 100% fatal.

And fo mr heavens sake if you are bitten or scratched by any animal (mammal) you do not 100% know it has been vaccinated for rabies go see you dr immediately. I plead with you on this.

Ok tax for my spiel
Mr LC decided he didn’t like being in the run, he wanted out!

Nope

That is Clyde and Georgie Girl’s Dada.

Teddy belongs to a friend of mine, I borrowed him for a few months this past winter/spring so I could get silkie eggs for my niece to hatch where she teaches.

Rebecca also got some eggs but seems Teddy wasn’t so fertile, and the offspring were not very hardy. Only two chicks from 4 hatching (from a dozen) survived. Clyde and Georgie.

None of Rebecca’s eggs survived.

Ok folks I am just exhausted good night all.

Actually not one of them is local. One lives in Virginia, another in Texas, one in California, and another in Minnesota. The closest is about 4 hours away. Yes, a larger sample size would be much better but these people have had much more experience with the bitey end of snakes than the majority of the population. And I did my research first. I have spent 1000s of hours researching reptiles over the past 4-5 years and have talked to countless breeders and other reptile keepers alike. I have done tons of research on snake bites, most on venomous ones but non venomous as well.

And yes, that is a great source. But that is for venomous snake bites which results in necrosis of tissues making the risk of I infection highly likely. I have specifically been referring to non venomous North American colubrids.

Rudy tried really hard to stay in the house with me tonight. But I have early morning plans that don’t involve him.
But he sure is sweet though
