...as a general rule. These pics are graphic, but tell the story better than words ever can. This was a bite from a large male on the head of a smaller 8 lb ig...which is NOT so small:

I'll stick to my snakes: their bites are scary but mostly painless and don't leave more than a dozen or so tiny holes!

Thanks for editing in the warning Dom. They are pretty graphic. That's why I wanted to post them. So many don't have a clue. Some are told igs don't even have teeth.

Black Jack...I couldn't agree more. The 4' black racer I helped off of the barbs of a barbed-wire fence a couple years ago left me with a perfect set of teeth marks square on my elbow, it's nothing compared to what my 4' ig could do.
I can now identify this snake quite well now. He's been seen several more times for the scars on his back. We are definitely in his territorial range... .

Thats terrible
Thats really sad I am glad to hear that he is doing better thanks to the vet, I would never dream of housing Ig's togather in my opinion that is just asking for trouble.....
As for people being informed that ig's have no teeth they should take a good look, they have plenty of teeth, and know how to use them.
