I was bitten by my rosy boa. I think it was a feeding response. Should I worry about handling her now? - finger boa
She had not eaten all winter (at least 10 weeks), and usually a managed or twice a week. He bit his index finger as a mouse! My knuckle is swollen and bruised. How do I? Thanks for the info!

Do not take it personally just hungry. Make sure your not a food or feed, used to eat more importantly, if something is not large enough to prevent food regurge too. Do not let the fact that little to prevent manipulation in the future, if you own a snake, eventually you will be bitten and not the fault of the snakes. Only feed him .. wait at least 48 hours prior to dealing with it will continue as usual.
The first diet, as you said it was probably hungry and the thought of his finger was a mouse. And then there are creating as normal as the first response, said snakes do not bite aggressively and, because the snake was in the past dealt with the incident, I think that one thing at once. They should then proceed normally do.
How to proceed
1 feed their
Put 2 ice on the wrist and an antibiotic cream if your skin is broken
Not manage 3 24 hours after eating
4 Functioning as normal that after
5 is like a little more food than usual to offer, because he not eaten for a long time.
Usually do not bite out of aggression, usually eat just enough. It was probably a little hungry. 10 weeks is a long time without eating, even for a snake, you get every time, food, and they do not?
In any case, should be treated more than once or twice a week. If your concern about treating bite again, just put a pair of gloves next time, too.
Wash your hands with a strong smelling soap before handling the snake. It is less likely that the smell of food. They also offer a clenched fist, not with the fingers at first. Just my 2 cents.
