there are all kinds of bacterial infections that can arise from a snake bite, disinfect the bite with triple antibiotic cream. like neosporin as long as its a bacitracin/zinc antibiotic cream, wash well preferably with dial antibiotic soap or similar. then just keep an eye on it make sure for the next day or so the rednness around the bite doesnt seem to get larger, if you see red runners traveling lenghtwise in the next day or two take you kid to the hospital it could be blood poisoning. the antibiotic should take care of that though.
ball pythons arent reef safe.

Thanx reefkprZ.
I used to keep reptiles and I knew that but I never kept these guys. You know you forget everything you know when its your kid. You become like rainman. Kmart sucks.
How irresponsible of the neighbor. Keeping a snake with a 6 year old. And no you should not keep one if your 6 yo does not know not to touch it and never let others touch it.

Your kid got bit by a snake and rather than take him or her to a hospital, you chose to ask a question on a message board about whether or not the snake could be disease ridden? Sounds like an episode from Maury Povich. You dont by any chance live in a trailor park do you?

yea.. size matters,
but seriously, if it is big enough to where it has teeth that actually penetrated the skin clean it out, she won't get salmonella, but it can easily get infected if not cleaned, but if it was a baby, she should be fine, wash her hands just cuz, but she should be fine.

I have kept ball pythons for about 8 yrs. And have been bitten a couple of times. If the snake is in good health, I don't really see any reason for worry, however, you may want to contact your pediatrician for medical advise. S/He may want to start your son on antibiotics just for safety sake. Your neighbor shouldn't be exposing children to the pet snake.
I'm sure you cleaned the wound site with an antiseptic, and continue to use neosporan on it until it starts to heal.

my guess is you're talkin bout snakes on a plane.. it looked so bad i didn't see it, and the name sucks, but for people who actually own snakes wouldn't like it anyways considering the fact that we actually know stuff about snakes..

Yea you would think all they had to do was to turn the air on really cold and they would all have gotten sluggish.
"Every great movie has a muse inspiring it. Except that snake on a plane movie I had nothing to do with that piece of Sh*t!"
