Western Hognose Bite Report by ArachnoWolf on DeviantArt
So the person I got Demigod from recently got a hognose (sometime last year iirc), and she got bit by him through a feeding response bite. Well, what resulted was the most extreme reaction to a hognose bite I've ever seen or heard of.
As the link says, she was bitten on April 14. She is still currently caring for the snake bite, ~2.5 weeks later. What started out as some swelling developed into a humongous blister, which has since drained and a specialist has cut away the dead tissue and she's replacing her bandages cleaning the skin every so often. As far as I know, she still has limited movement in her hand, although a lot more than at the beginning.
Those blisters in the photos are pictures of her arm, just to give you some perspective.
She does have diabetes, which we suspect may be why she's taking so long to recover and why it got so bad. She has also bought a set of gloves and a snake hook in the meantime, and will not be stopping for photos in the future. lol
People talk all the time about treating FWCs as any other hot, but few people talk about hoggies. Instances like these are probably incredibly rare, but it goes to show you what they have the potential to do.
