    Damage of a 14' retic bite

    Cruising around the web I found a thread on Burm Junkies with a guy posting shots of the aftermath of his retic biting his arm and hitting an artery. . . Don't click if you don't want to see the shots.

    Just a reminder for those of us who keep large. Puppy dog tame or not, always treat animals with respect, and understand what their body language tells you.

    That's pretty crazy! I'm glad all of the "My Ball Python Bit Me" posts here are a bit less gruesome...

    Yeah I really dislike that "puppy dog tame" term aswell. It gives people a false sense of security around animals that can inflict damage. People use that term all the time with monitor lizards.
