It's been 11 days and my bite is still sore 
Dunno what's going on but each teeth mark is swollen up, burning and itchy and very sensetive to touch.
Is this normal with snake bites? This was the bite from Steve the king, he didn't just bite, he latched on for 5 mins and chewed lol

I think you are thinking abut the bite therefore it stings/hurts as does everything when you think about it. I've had a corn latch on for 10 mins and a king bite, stung but only when I remebered about it lol. |

For me the bite would die down and then get itchy and flare up again for about six or seven weeks afterwards. I used Sudocreme on it to ease the itching/soreness and eventually it went away. I guess we must both be a little bit allergic. It appears to be a pretty rare reaction though as despite lots of searching, you're the only other person I've found who's reacted like this. We should start our own club .
Very interesting! How strange. Well it's getting better now but it's really odd, if I touch or press on it, it starts to burn and tingle! The swelling and bumps are going down now and do look better but it's still very much there.
I'm pretty sure he will get me again at some point so it will be interesting to see if I have the same reaction.
This is it today.

The bite club is cool! I'm glad I got bitten, even if it's been a bit of an irritation!
I tried squeezing it all and nothing else is comming out so am just using Germolene now and it should heal up ready for the next time he bites me. It's not if, it's when!! |

I don't really wanna join the bite club either, but I think you have to in order to earn your graduation don't you?
And I joined the poop club last weekend after the baron - my rainbow boa - let go all over my fingers! Eeeewwwww!!!! lol
Hope you heal soon Lou. That does look a bit nasty! |

that was the only reason i had a bite not heal properly, i ended up pulling 4 teeth from my finger!
Funny you should say that! One of the spot type bite marks came to a head last night so I squeezed it and guess what I squeezed out? A tiny tooth
Steve seems fine and has eaten since the savage attack so the tooth loss can't have had any effect on him. Not sure if I have anymore still stuck in me, time will tell
He still keeps attacking me too so I guess he likes my flavour
See, i am not just a pretty face!!
Nope, your also the 'pretty face' that sold me the savage killer king  |
