What happens when a milk snake bites you? The easy-going milk snake will inflict little to no injury and is not venomous if it bites you. If someone was to be bitten, they should clean and sanitize the wounded area but no medical attention is required. Most of the bites from a milk snake aren’t enough to even break the skin. https://emborapets.com/what-happens-when-a-milk-snake-bites/ > On May 30, 2022, at 12:04 PM, melinda bruno-smith <melindabr...@hotmail.com> > wrote: > > > Any suggestions on how to learn to love these creatures or least accept them > without fear? > > Thanks, > Melinda > > From: Lincoln <lincoln-boun...@lincolntalk.org> on behalf of RAandBOB > <raand...@earthlink.net> > Sent: Monday, May 30, 2022 11:52 AM > To: Deborah Wallace <debwallace...@gmail.com> > Cc: Lincoln Talk <Lincoln@lincolntalk.org> > Subject: Re: [LincolnTalk] Snake ID > > How can I get one?
