How to React to a Bite?
I've been wondering (having no experience with biting reptiles) how do I need to react to a (non venomous) reptiles bite?
I had two red eared sliders when I was younger but have never been bitten. I've even picked up skinks from my area (and a very normal looking lizard I have no idea what it was) and I've never been bitten by them. (I put my hand over their back with their head facing forward and grab them like that if that has anything to do with it)
I've heard that I should just relax and let them let go (I'm not talking about big constrictors, more like kings, corns, skinks. Things like that) and never try pullingoing them off by force (which I imagine would rip skin) and afterward what treatment for it? Wash thoroughly and stick some triple antibiotic cream on it I guess.
Your opinion?
