Tonight when I got home I noticed one of my P.fasciata's(4cm) that has recently molted, had a piece of molt still stuck to its belly (Dont know the scientific name for that part).
In my attempt to remove it, I got tagged on my left hand where the hand ends and the wrist starts.
There was almost no pain from the bite itself. Thought it was one of the little claws scratching me. My hand immediately swelled a little where the bite marks are. Looks almost like a mosquito bite. There is not any pain at the bite marks. After about 15min my hand started feeling numb and after about half an hour the "mosquito bite has gone. At the moment (1hour later) the muscle just under my thumb is aching a little bit, but not much. Im getting hot flashes and feeling a bit dizzy.

This is my first bite and luckily it was only from a sling. I feel like I got of light. It could have been a lot worse.

Life is not measured by how many breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

Hope you're ok soon. The bit of "skin" should go with the next moult. That teaches us to respect even slings :)

Wow i got an adult female and if a bite from a sling does that then the adult must be serious! Hope your hand gets better!
