Iv'e kept a lot of snakes and taken a lot of non vemonous bites, it's standard proedure.
A few years ago chasing Cumminghams skinks I was bitten by a Redback (Latrodectus Hasselti) on the inside of the elbow. It wasn't very painful to start off with, but stinging and throbbing quickly set in.
After that I got a numb sensation over face mouth, face eyes, and felt a bit sick for the sext few days...
