Il y a bien un couple. Pour le plus, je vais bientôt faire une fiche d'élevage...

Bravo pour cette naissance Joli p'tit bout

Attention aux échographies

Vraiment très beau le "rhaco"

Trop cool cette série de photos

Photos et textes originaux suite à une morsure de Boiga dendrophila Whilst medicating my 4 ft female B dendrophila, she manged to twist and latch onto my right thumb. I was bitten at about 14:30, by 20:30 my thumb had restricted movement and was starting to swell, by 23:00 I had no movement at all in my thumb, no feeling, it was extremely swollen and the gland in my armpit was swollen, very painful and sweating profusely. By midnight, the pain in my armpit was so bad, I took a trip to A&E..........fat lot of good they were! Since then, the pain has died off, but I now have limited mobility in my index and middle fingers and the swelling now incorporates half my hand to the extent where I can no longer distinguish the knuckles of my index and middle fingers. My elbow is very stiff and I experienced a short period of numbness in the right hand side of my face at about 23:00, lasting for about 30 minutes. Now I have an intense tingling in the area of the bite and throughout my hand, my thumb is turning a nice shade of purple and the skin is stretched tight with blistering starting to appear This is an experience not to be recommended. --------------------- 3:10 am and here it is now.................. I currently have the world's worst headache and also feel completely trippy and almost drunk, this is interspersed with periods of not being able to keep my eyes open. I'm currently loaded up on Anti-inflammatories, Anti-histamines and antibiotics. I'm seriously worried about the possibility of tissue damage now......................I've grown rather attached to my thumb over the last forty odd years. --------------------- As for the effects, the discolouration and blistering is spreading, the swelling appeared to go down somewhat overnight, but is now increasing again and the intermittent dizziness, sleepiness, nausea and "spaced out" feelings have returned, and the thumping headache has not decreased at all. My pupils still appear quite dilated and bright light is uncomfortable. As soon as my camera batteries have recharged I'll post pictures of the current state of my hand as of 14:00 today --------------------- The swelling has disappeared now. What I'm left with now is discolouration on the upper surface of my thumb and an area of sloughing skin between the first and second knuckle with a small patch of what looks to be necrotic tissue just under 1cm in diameter in the centre. I'm treating it topically with antibiotic powder and applying seaweed alginate dressing to soak up any "gunk".
