Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

All venomous snake bites should be taken seriously as indirect complications like anaphylactic shock are always possible. What species do you have?

It can cause blood clotting aside from swelling and pain. Probably won't be life threatening but be careful. Use tools, don't free handle a pit viper.

Dusky Pigmy bites hurt. As long as you are not allergic not generally life threatening. They are very fast strikers. Do not try to pin and pick one up behind the head as they are prone to unhinging their jaws and poking with one fang into your finger. I have seen this many times. Use restraint tubes if you need to sex or inject them for any reason. They bite more people in my area than any other venomous snake but rarely make the news. Just be careful and enjoy. If this is your first hot don't get cocky and think you can reach in the cage for something because it has gotten tame (lol) she's just waiting you out.

I myself would not let them give me antivenin for a pigmy bite. Antibiotics and pain meds at the most for me. The hospitals here love to give it to everybody no matter how mild or dry the bite is. I am more worried about the side effects of it than the bite.
I have only been bitten once by a hot. A pigmy actually on the foot. It will give you an all new respect for instant pain. I was young and walking around barefoot in the woods. Lesson learned. The best thing to remember is stay calm and at least get monitored incase of a bad reaction. The most dangerous snake bite in the world is the one that just bit you.
