Got Bit!

Took a chomp from a big male Columbian. 😂 First time being bit by a boa.. haha, his head is nothing compared to that of a big female, but uhm, ow! Lol If only I hadn't of instinctively pulled back, probably would have hurt as much.. nevermind the fact that I got bit, though, he stole the keys to the lock at the same time! What a turd.

Awww dang that sounds painful - was it your hand?? Did it bleed? Hope you're day gets better lol p.s. where in Canada do you live?! Nice to see a fellow Canadian on the forum =)

Years ago my big boa nailed me pretty decent but by far my worst tag was a large green iguana. Man he tore me up bad and was about as mean a critter as I'd ever seen. You had to watch both ends of him as he'd whip his tail too and it didn't feel too great either.

Yep, my little hand. Lol right across my three fingers, my one pinky joint is bruised. *sigh* it definitely bled, ahaha. There was evidence smeared on the glass and a nice drip trail. Lmao

Ontario! 😁

I've got two scars on my pinky from a big mean green iguana, one on the top and one on the bottom. I will admit to avoiding them nowadays! I really avoid most lizards to be honest, I don't like the way they often latch on and flail around, literally ripping you open. I had an AFT rip open my finger and leave a nice flap of skin.

I much prefer the bite of a snake which is just some holes in your skin! .. if you don't pull away, that is. *rolls eyes*

Omg sounds like a horror scene lol your poor little hand! Here's to no future bites :carouse:

I have been bit by a 13ft Burmese on the forearm which was more of a tag and release but I pulled away making it much worse. I bled like a stuck pig but it hurt nowhere near as bad a the bite I got from a 9ft scrub python. His teeth went into the muscle. Not much blood but it ached for weeks.

Lol, pretty much!;p Yeah really! I mean, I was pretty stupid how I went in there.... oops. Was going in for the water bowl, head was right at the water bowl, figured I could get my hand over his head for some reason, but he moved a lot faster than me. ;)

Yikes! x_x I had to look up the teeth on those guys, I cannot imagine. Seeing as this boa's bite was aching quite a bit for the first few minutes, and I can imagine a Burm hurting even more... then to think it could hurt more than that.. no thank you. Lol

Obviously my bite looks like nothing now, just a bunch of pin pricks all over my fingers, haha, and that little bruise. There is one spot, evidence of my instinctive yank, where it looks more like a velociraptor the size of a mouse scratched me, poor guy! God, even though it lasted 2 seconds at the max, the sound of the teeth ripping out was intense.

I'm one to try and avoid bites, like, REALLY avoid them.. At all costs. I am not a fan, lol. A snake has to earn my trust.... 😜

Lol be glad boas don't have teeth like ATBs. They are like a mouth of long daggers. Grats on joining the club :gj:
