Hi folks,
I don't usually post on this forum, but I figured I'd share my experience...
I was bitten ("bitten" is the CORRECT term by the way, not "bit") and wrapped by a VERY hefty 13 foot male Burmese Python in a feeding accident. Yeah , I know, don't get bitten in the first
place, blah, blah, blah.
This was my first large snake and I made a dumb mistake. He grabbed me by the left forearm and proceeded to coil around my arm and upper body. Luckily, my fiancee was nearby and I told her to get some rubbing alcohol and pour it on the snake's face. BINGO! Snake released, and none the worse for wear. I on the other hand, was picking teeth out of my arm for several months and I was black and blue from wrist to arm-pit. Very painful indeed.
Interestingly, I was subsequently speaking to Dave Barker about big snake bites and he mentioned that he's tried rubbing alcohol in similar situations and it didn't work for him.
Cheers.
Simon
