Another thing that works is to put a few drops of listerine mouthwash on or near his nose, or just on the flesh of your finger near the bite (though if its pierced skin, I can imagine that would hurt like a bi-...like a female dog >.> )

Whenever Morse latches on and won't let go I take a q-tip and dab just a little bit of alcohol onto the corner of his mouth....works every time. I've never heard about putting it on his nose though...

Maybe so Kaz, but then he could have latched on to something else

That's cruel that MB - you should have gone about your daily business with him latched on. He'd have probably let go in the middle of the night when you'd relaxed a little

I tried all of the above on unday when one of my new snakes clamped on. I waited patiently at first, then held its head underwater for about 5 minutes but it still didn't let go. Tried the alcohol gel and that didn't work either. Eventually had to prise its mouth open with tongs

Alcohol hands down. But if non handy (or you want it all for yourself!) cold water under the tap.

Is he off yet?

a little smear of alcohol rub on its nose works straight away

Hi, this hasn't actually happened to me but have read about it. I beleive putting it's head under warm running water should work(obviously not for too long)
