Hey there and welcome to the forum, just had a look back over your posts to see what snake you have and if it's your childrens/spotted python that bit you then you'll be fine

Unless you have a DWAL... You'll be OK.......
But if you had a DWAL, you'd know that... LOL

Could you post a picture?

Or you could google ...

Children's Python (Antaresia childreni) and Spotted Python (Antaresia maculosa)

Hope that helps

You have nothing to worry about.. other than the same risk of infection with any other cut. Some people have a very mild reaction to the saliva and get a little bit swolen and ichy, but this will pass quickly. A bit of Germoline is as bad as things will get!
