    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

question...

I was just wondering what I would do if my hognose ever bit me. How would i take her off without hurting her? Would i need to go to the hospital, or would i just need to bandage it up? Just wondering just in case it ever happens so i would be prepared. Thanks
 
The only time I've ever even come close to being bitten by one of mine is at feeding time.

A bottle of ordinary rubbing alcohol kept near the cage and poured in its mouth if it bites you should do the trick.

Clean and bandage as appropiate. I doubt a hospital will be necessary but if you feel the need be sure to go.

Wont the rubbing alcohol hurt her?

I'm sure it is very unpleasant to have in your mouth but it won't hurt her. I've used this method for over 20 years and have never had a snake suffer for it. I have had a few determined individuals that simply wouldn't let go, but as a rule it works.
 
I've never been bitten by any of my hogs before but I've had plenty of other snake bite and not let go. Usually putting them under the fauset and turning on the cold tap water works for me.
