Not a good week so far.
I was in the snake room the day before yesterday, and as usual my jampea retic raised up at her cage door expecting food. I noticed some irregularity of the groove that the tounge comes out of on the upper lip. So I decided to investigate. I got her out, she turned and bit me. My fault completely. I didn't break her feed response like I usually do( usually rub her with the hook for about 20 seconds and this time I just kinda rubbed her once); lesson learned. Me and my GF get her in a bag, she pokes her head out, I grabbed her head so I can open her mouth and have a look(the whole time I'm bleeding). There's no discoloration, just a small area of swelling that appears to be a broken or possibly imbedded tooth. So she's going to the vet tomorrow to be on the safe side. Not how I wanted this week to go, but very very glad I noticed it before its got a chance to progress.
Now for what you all want to see. An 8 foot jampea bite. Not as bad as I expected it to be. Didn't get a good one when there was a bunch of blood, this is after I put her back and had wiped most of it off.

Re: Not a good week so far.
That will be gone in a day or two. Snake bites bleed like mad then stop. You should have taken a pic of the inside of the snakes mouth and posted it too. Glad your ok. The problem with a retic bite is when the pull and rip. The bite you have could have been much worse.

Re: Not a good week so far.
The puncture marks are already almost gone, but there's a little bruising. Didn't hurt at all, which was strange cause I expected a bite from her to hurt.
I didn't even think to get a pic of the swelling in her mouth. I looked in on her yesterday it looked the same from what I can see externally. But today it seemed to be more swollen so I went ahead and scheduled a vet visit for tomorrow. Better to be safe and get it checked out ASAP in my opinion.
Kevin, I'm glad someone got a good laugh out of it. I'm a person that laughs at myself and friends that get hurt(and so are all my friends). So I was hoping someone would get a kick out of it(all my friends did). And hope others catch on to the fact that I deviated from my normal procedures for handleing her, and it bite me literally.
Chuck, that's true love there. Lol.

Re: Not a good week so far.
If that's a lovebite, I'd hate to see what an angrybite looks like, haha! Good luck with the vet visit!

Haha, lets hope I don't have to find out. I've already got a yellow anaconda that I'm pretty sure is gonna stay a bit nippy his entire life. I hope my jamp doesn't take a liking to my flesh. She's always been a very docile snake since day one.
Thanks everyone for the kind words on the vet appointment. I go in in another 2 hours so ill update when I get back.

Re: Not a good week so far.
Well, back from the vet. He feels there's no infection, but I'm instructed to keep checking and clean it every week. She goes back in 4 weeks to make sure evrythings good(unless it progresses then she goes back immediately). So good news, and I feel much better getting her looked. I can earn more money, I can't replace a life. We got to talking snakes and I got some free probes out of it.
