Well the mom brought the boy in with the snake. For some reason the snake's mouth was completely full of aspen shavings and the container they had it in was bare. I don't know what they did to it but I told them that what happened was no reason to abuse the snake.
I asked the boy where he was bitten. He pointed to the inside of his forearm near the elbow. He said he did NOT bleed. There were no wounds at all. He said when the snake bit him there was saliva running the length of his arm and dripping off his arm. This is what he said.
After I cleaned the stuff out of the snake's mouth and it appears fine.
The kid was very, very apologetic to me??? I'm sorry over and over. I gave his mom her money back.
I think the kid did something else or it never happened. I don't know what but it is very fishy. I mean after I've been bitten there are small punctures in the shape of the snakes top teeth, bottom teeth or both. But he had NOTHING.
I think what really happened was that the mom didn't like the snake and made this all up to get us to refund her money and the kid was sorry. When she bought it, the boy begged and begged her to buy it. Mom didn't want anything to do with it. They had it for about 2 weeks.
I forgot, I work at a mom & pop reptile pet shop.
Thanks everyone for the input.
