    I have been bitten by numerous garter snakes. Also took a hit from my big 4.5-ft. BP when I tried re-adjusting one of the rats he was being fed. Got hit by my BCI awhile ago too, because I got too close to his head while changing his waterbowl.
    None of them hurt much, except Goblin tried constricting around me, and luckily I jerked away reflexively.
    More of a shock than anything else.

    Snake bites - I can't count that high.

    Although I will say my most memorable bite came 2 years ago from an 18-lb Rhino iguana named Bulldozer. He grabbed the inside of my thigh & wouldn't let go for about 30 seconds. It put a HUGE bruise on my leg & I limped for a week.

    Yikes, Kara. I haven't been bit yet, but I've been musked several times.

    Count me as one of the bitten. Fortunately it has only been by baby BPs. It is almost comical how ferocious a baby can act.

    Man that looks like the iguana had canine teeth. Are you sure it wasn't a vampire in disguise Kara??

    Dang, Kara that was quite a CHAWMP! he put on you! That hurts to even look at.

    I've been tagged by quite a few - the bulk of them being black rat snakes which I used to find in abundance near my Granny's house when I was younger. But certainly a few of our own have taken their free sample ;)

    Numerous garter snake's, several of which I purposely allowed them to bite me (hey, I was young and crazy then) couple times by corn and rat snakes. But the most memorable had to be a 7 foot Indigo that did not want to come out from under the couch.

    Just my adult bp, and completely my fault. I used to get battered by iggys, but was never bitten by them, and have been bitten by countless cats and dogs and rodents.
