Answer 1

Get off Yahoo Answers and go to the doctor immediately.

Remember the part where they told you to always wash your hands after handling any reptile when you bought the snake? That's because reptiles tend to have all kinds of nasty bacteria on them. Get it checked out now.

Answer 2

Mouth ulcers starts off with a sort of tingling or burning sensation at the spot where the future mouth ulcer will occur. After a few days, a blister forms in the mouth with the top quickly sloughed off resulting in a red spot or a bump, which will then be followed by an open ulcer. The mouth ulcer appears as a white or yellow oval with an inflamed red border. Sometimes a white circle or halo around the lesion can be seen. The gray, white, or yellow colored area within the red boundary is due to the formation of layers of fibrin around the ulcer.

There are several ways to prevent and manage mouth ulcers. However, the best prevention of the disease unarguably requires sound dental hygiene which eliminates the presence of harmful microbes in the mouth, avoid or reduce spicy, acidic or salty foods and drinks which tend to predispose to it, and the use of antibacterial solution at http://www.oramd.com/ will help a lot to get rid of mouth ulcers.

I can't help but laugh at you. Why would you ever put a snake in your mouth. Ya I think this was a very bad idea. I think you need to call your Dr. right away. Maybe the snake gave of a poison in you. I have no clue. Just call your DR and say I was an idiot and I put my snake in my mouth now I have some major problems going on in my mouth.LOL but for real you need to call. Dont worry people do stupit things all the time

Answer 4

that's not good dude.. sounds like thrush ..If you own a reptile, wear gloves when handling the animal or its feces because Salmonella is easily passed from the animal. or Stomatitis which is Aphthous stomatitis, also known as recurrent aphthous ulcers (RAU) or canker sores, is a specific type of stomatitis that presents with shallow, painful ulcers that are usually located on the lips, cheeks, gums, or roof or floor of the mouth. These ulcers can range from pinpoint size to up to 1 in (2.5 cm) or more in diameter. Though the causes of canker sores are unknown, nutritional deficiencies, especially of vitamin B12, folate, or iron is suspected. Generalized or contact stomatitis can result from excessive use of alcohol, spices, hot food, or tobacco products. Sensitivity to mouthwashes, toothpastes, and lipstick can irritate the lining of the mouth. Exposure to heavy metals, such as mercury, lead, or bismuth can cause stomatitis. Thrush, a fungal infection, is a type of stomatitis.

You need to go to the dr and get special medicine for thrush

Answer 5

Ya dafty lol, offcourse this was a bad idea, sounds like youve had a reaction to the slim or scales from the snake.

You will have to goto the hospital and get anti biotics.

Let this be a lesson learned.

Answer 6

Go to the hospital man that doesn't sound good at all. One question tho drunk or not why the f*ck would you put your pet snake in your mouth

Answer 7

What TD Mooseface said. You know, them asp bites can be pretty toxic. Suggest you take a red magic marker and paint the tip of snakey's fangs red for next Halloween. In the meantime, you and Moley can take turns sucking venom out of each other's butts.

Answer 8

What colour?
"Red touches black, you're OK Jack; red touches yellow, you're a dead fellow."
Did it bite you? I suggest you go to hospital! Sinaloan Milk Snakes do have some immunity to their venom.

Answer 9

I have a snake, you're advised to wash your hands after touching them because of salmonella and other diseases, so you'd better hope your Dr. can give you some antibiotics fairly fast.
PS. I hope the snake's OK.

Answer 10

So is it a known poisenious snake? I would say you need to go to the doctor. The whole no lower jaw look, not hot!
