The physical pain of the fangs piercing the skin may not hurt as much as the fangs are smaller but the pain created by the venom would be the same if an adult and baby snake injected the same amount of venom.
Working with Wildlife is a company I am involved with and we have produced an e-book that answers many questions like this one and it is a low cost, high value source of accurate information. It also includes a section on what to do if bitten as there are many misconceptions about the correct first aid procedures for snake bite.

Actually, small snakes are technically more poisonous than large snakes of its own species. Though the younger version of the same species of snake has the same potency of venom, it is technically more poisonous. As a young (or baby) venomous snake, whenever it bites something, it injects all the venom it can inject, therefore increasing the mortality rate of whatever is being bitten. The baby snake doesn't know how to ration its venom, so it injects it all at once, which increases the mortality rate (or the likeliness something might die). When the venomous snake is larger, it rations its venom so it can strike more than once, and only deliver enough venom to kill something. The potency of the venom doesn't change between small and big snakes of the same species, but the amount used does.
Yes! Any snake that is poisonous as an adult is just as poisonous as a baby!!!!!!!
The venom, as a rule is not different from adult to juvenile.
That actually is the notable thing, the babies are just as dangerous as the adults.
Depends if your sensitive or not. To me, it feels like a little nibble. But if you threaten a Guinea pig, they can go full-force bite on you. Just yesterday, I was feeding my guinea pig some spinich and I got to close to the spinich so it bite me, but it didn't bring blood. If you have a baby guinea pig, then it can hurt because their teeth hasn't been used to chew yet, bigger guinea pigs wont hurt as bad.
Yes, I don't know if they set swelling on the bite or not because when one bit me, I didn't let it bite for too long to find out. When they bite, it feels like they're sucking on your finger, it doesn't hurt either. Just don't mess with them too much because they might start to bite you harder and release something into your body.
yes they do bite , if irratated , or if they can smell food on ur hands an mistake it for food , i have a micro pig and the bite does hurt and draws blood
a grey squirrials is a grey and rare squarral its bite can hurt but a califorma squirral bites dont hurt a grey squirrials is a grey and rare squarral its bite can hurt but a califorma squirral bites dont hurt
Heck yes! They bite.. we have sweat bees all in our swimming pool... they hurt.. and are one of the problems of summer:(
yes
not at all
I just got bit by my grandsons golden gecko today. I didn't realize how sharp their teeth were or that they would bite at all. I will tell you that it hurt and he drew blood. I almost feels like a nonvenomous snake bite without all the swelling.
Not really. They are a small species of snake, and their bite is more of a discomfort than painful - speaking from experience !
ALL snake bites hurt to some extent ! However - Hognose snakes are only a small species (typical adults are only 24 inches long), and the bite is more of a discomfort than painful.
They feel like getting your ear pierced on your lip.
They might peck at your fingers, but it doesn't hurt. They don't technically bite, they peck.
I think that she does when she is a baby. It doesn't hurt, though, and she isn't poisonous like her relatives are---her favorite person to bite is Jacob.
It depends on the type of snakes........most venomus snakes have enough venom right from birth. If the snake is something lije a constrictor the bite wont be fatal but its surerly gonna hurt!!!!!!
Yes, a baby corm snake can drink regular tap water. They drink all sorts of water in the wild and it will not hurt them.
Yes beccuse it can hurt baby guiniepigs. Infact It can even harm an adult guiniepig!
Yes any piercing is going to hurt.
