Have you ever been bitten by a feeder??

I have been bitten by a mouse once that one of my snakes did not want to eat. I had to lift it out of the snake's enclosure because he refused to eat it.

Ive been bit once, and ive handled thousands of rodents.

But still, that one bite HURT! Rodents go for the bone...

lol got bit for the first time the other day and i have to say that little bugger was a fast one. i didnt even see it coming, all i felt was a sharp pain on my finger and her acting all tough. hurts worst than a snake bit thats for sure. those teeth are sharp!~

We have a very large rodent farm in Colorado, so I handle lots of rodents a day.

So for me, more bites from Mice, like several a day some times.
Rat bites are the worse, tear the skin, and become infected.
Snake bites not so many, but I do still have part of my right hand that tingles. A big argentine boa got me REAL GOOD.

A few times but it is rare and I can tell you that if it happens it will be the last thing they ever do.

I have a zero tolerance policy so if a breeder bites me he is fed off immediately.

Never by a rat. But I raise ASF's for my feeders and I have a few times. Twice by a protective dad. Any of the youngsters that "act" like they are going to bite are never keep as breeders and always the first to get fed.

When I first started breeding rats I had a few protective females that would bite. They had a 2 bite rule-after that they were food. Now no one bites, kinda interesting to think of genetic traits like that

I have a grey hooded female that likes to bite and I would like to feed her off, but she is raising some of my tailless hets at the moment.

I will start worrying about the biters after I have some more females to work with. I only had six females to put on this project so I kind of needed her.

A small rat once got me really good, he bit down on my finger tip and instead of letting go he kept flexing his jaws and biting deeper. It took about 4 seconds to yank him off, I couldn't feel much in the tip of my finger for a few months.

I feed frozen/thawed so no rodent bites yet!

However my chameleon's food has bitten me. :(
Superworms bite hard!
