Carpet snake & otherwise Python's teeth are like Needles, and very sharp. So that a bite, is as if I jabbed a number of needles into you at the same time. Hurts a bit but harmless. However carpet snakes eat Rats, so may have germs in their mouth, so that could gt infected. Most of my bites were not treated.

Am now mainly a vegetarian, except for a bit of Kosher fish, Sardines, Herrings, and Salmon. But in 1979 worked in a Pathology Laboratory in Sydney, and took my pt carpet make to work, and was eating a chicken drumstick when the carpet snake decided that he wants it, but stuck and bit my hand instead.

So as we handle lots of germs, I poured Iodine over that wound. But normally did not treat a Carpet Snake bite. He or she ate the Bone of that Chicken Drumstick.
