What to do when a boa constrictor bites you?

Answer 1

nothing u can relly do but rush to the hospital and get a shot or the venim will rush through your body within a hour or so.

Answer 2:

Wrong, Boas have no venom. If its just a strike, then don't worry you'll live. If it clamps on to you then don't pull it off, either spray with room temp water on the head until it releases or pour a small amount of vinegar on to your skin close to the bite and tip it slowly into contact with the boas mouth.

Answer 3:

Yes, boas do not have venom and trying to pull the boa off will do alot more damage if it is even possible i have been bit by a boa in a animal science class and the teacher sprayed perfume in its face and it realsed but i do believe the vinegar would work also not so sure about the water.

Answer 2

So long as it's a non-venomous species, and the wound doesn't bleed profusely, a simple wipe of the bite area with mild antiseptic is all the treatment needed (possibly with the application of a sticking-plaster to keep the wound clean)

Answer 3

Probably yell quite loudly, and get medical attention for the puncture wounds. Boas are not venomous snakes, but the bite can get infected. Besides cleaning the bite, you may need a tetanus shot and antibiotics. Yelling is actually optional, but seems to help.

Answer 4

A king snake is nonpoisonous. Wash the wound with soapy water first and then hydrogen peroxide. If your tetanus shot is not up to date, get a tetanus shot. King snakes have a lot of bacteria in the mouth, so be sure to watch for infection.

Answer 5

Nothing really - apart from wipe the bite area with mild antiseptic. I've been bitten a few times over the last 25 years - by different reptiles - and suffered no ill effects !
