Chinese Water Snake (Definite introduction)
I believe that most people have seen incidents and news about snake bites. Especially if you have snakes at home or are kept by relatives and friends, the chance of being bitten by a pet snake is still very high! For this reason, especially owners of pet snakes, should learn and master how to deal with bites from pet snakes.
Don’t panic after being bitten by a pet snake. The pet snakes we raise are all non-venomous snakes, but the treatment methods also need to be based on the treatment methods for venomous snake bites. The person who is bitten should immediately wash the wound and surrounding skin with cold water, spring water, soapy water or 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution to wash away the venom on the surface of the wound. If there are snake teeth remaining in the wound, you should quickly pick it out with a knife or broken glass or other sharp objects. It is best to burn the small piece with fire before use to achieve the purpose of disinfection. Make a cross incision with the tooth mark as the center, deep into the skin, and then use your hands to repeatedly squeeze from the proximal end of the limb to the wound target and around the wound to supervise. To remove the venom from the incised wound, clean the wound with clean water while squeezing. The cleaning, squeezing and detoxification must continue for 20-30 minutes, and finally bandaged.
Of course, this is handled according to the treatment method after being bitten by a venomous snake. After being bitten by a non-venomous pet snake, the owner also needs to do detoxification treatment. After you have simply dealt with the wound yourself or with the help of others, you must go to the relevant hospital for examination immediately to ensure your own physical safety. When the doctor announces that you are fine, you can go home with peace of mind.
