Carpet python bites.

Question

I have a chance to adopt a 2 year old rather docile carpet python. I have heard their bites can mean stitches, is this true?

Answer 1

depends on how sever the bit is. you can need stitches after rodent and cat bites sometimes.  

Answer 2

I have received stiches before due to a snake bite but it was from my 12 foot retic and half of it was my fault because i tried pulling my hand out real fast i know it was the wrong thing to do but my reflexes kicked in before i had a chance to think. I dont think you will have any prob with a 2 year old carpet.

Answer 3

it really does depend on how bad the bite is  

Answer 4

No, that is highly unlikely. I've been bitten numerous times by carpet pythons and they rarely even needed a band-aid let alone stitches. You have nothing to worry about. The only snake bites I've heard about that required stitches were from very large reticulated pythons.
