    Re: Garter bite

    Just thought i would add my boa constrictor bite. It was my fault, she had just given birth and was very hungry and i fed her then went to put her back and she thought my hand was food. The bite didn't hurt that much it was when she crushed my knuckles that hurt.

    garter bites are a weekly occurrence here.....I have a couple that go after me every time I feed. I haven't had any itching tho...might be immune as many times as I have been bitten over the years...LOL!!!

    Chloe showed me this just after asking if I would look after them for 6 weeks.. they were likely to give birth during tht time and I would have to deal with it...I accepted the challenge...and then she shows me this pic!!!!! eeeek
