Hello everyone... I am new to this forum and I don't own a snake, although I very much would like to and have in the past. But the main reason I am here is because I want to learn about them and other herps as well. I also have a few questions that only owners can help me with. First off, has anyone heard of a Macklots Python? IOf so do you know anything about them. The one I have experience with is only a little over a foot in length and will strike at anything that moves. How big do they get?
The other question is about bite. I know this is a frequesntly discussed topic in a snake forum but I thought it would be nice to have it all in one place. Are snake bite serious and can they be treated at home or should one seek medical attention. I've heard that bite don't hurt and that snake bites often require stitches. (I guess it depends on the size of the snake). What are the medical proceedures one should follow in the event of a snake bite. I've heard they bleed alot but usually don;t require a hospital visit. Also, what is the safest and most effective way for, both the snake and the person, to remove a snake that will not break its hold once it has bitten. Thanks for the help anyone and I can tell that the people here are friendly and knowledgable. Thanks... [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]
