Question about Conda Bites (They hurt more after by the way)

Porkins May 18, 2004 03:28 PM

First off, I can add the Green Anaconda the my ever grow list of snakes I have been bitten by.

I was feeding my snakes, and I picked up my anaconda, I thought my hand were completly clean, my only guess is when I picked up my Red Tail that had just eaten, that the scent was on him from wrapping around the mouse, and he latched on, no strike, on my wrist/hand, then pulled out and did it again alittle lower, then looked at me. I thought that was funny. No pain at all, but my green is just a little guy. Now, though, the area around the teeth marks, and there is alot of teeth marks, is red and the puncture wounds are slightly raised and white, like a bug bite. I washed it with soap, and put alot of Peroxide on it. I am just curious, has this happened to any other unfortunate victim's bite area?

When ever I would get bit it just bled alot. Ive got bit in the chest, arm, leg and face. I never had any bruising but mine are still on the small side. When they do bit its more like a slap with there jaw, never have they bit down hard.

When I get bit by the anaconda..it scares me to death since it is so fast and I move away and the anaconda does not bite down hard. When I have been wrapped around by pythons (since the stay holding on while I noticed the condas let go and hold the prey in the "fat coils) it will bruis since they have some strong jaws. No worries...but if you don't think the conda bites hurt...you are crazy....they are my least favorite to take a good hit from. "I will take 1,000 python or boa bites to 1 anaconda bite". Maybe that will be my new signature...what do you think Eric aka GOD I LOVE ANACONDAS?
