    First bite came from one of my gopher snakes when I was about 7 years old or so. I owned a few gopher snakes, rosy boas, and kingsnakes that I caught in the wild as a kid, and they would all bite me. haha. Especially when i would play the game of holding the mice by the tail when I fed them. I definitely got tagged a dozen times or so. Worst has to be my Female blood python got me getting her water bowl. I thought I was out of strike range, but she closed in on me fast, and so violently grabbed my hand and wouldn't let go. She was a pain to get off, but just getting her out of her cage, and she weighs 15 lbs, she was hanging on as I luckily had a bottle of 1/2 listerine spray I use to clean and that sprayed on her and she let go. Good times... She's also for sale to a good home btw :). bawaha

    My baby jungle carpet python trys to bite me all the but hasn't got me. I also have a ball python that after feeding will strike at anything that moves,near its cage. But my only bites came from ring snakes,smooth green snakes,and garter snakes,when I was a kid,I would catch them and get bit all the time. Bit I have to say a garter snake musking is worse then its bite.

    My worst bite, was from my Savannah Monitor today

    It happened about 4 hours ago. I was holding a live mosue up for him, trying to make him jump for it

    And he jumped alright, and he clamped down on my finger and wouldnt let go

    So here I have this 5 - 10 pound lizard hanging off my finger, biting as hard as he could. Man was it painful!

    Thankfully He released me after about a minute

    No wounds, its just throbbing and hurts A LOT.

    we'll see if it turns into a bruise or not.

    Lol gotta say, thats my first feeding error and it wont be happening again very soon :l

    My first bite ever was actually from my boyfriends dog that out of the blue attacked my face when I was 17. The worst bite ever was again from my dog that I scared when I woke her up and she bit me in the lip.

    I know that is not what you are looking for but hey....(slightly making a point...lol)

    As far as snakes I was tagged the other day by an Amazon Tree Boa....Juv. didn't hurt but wow it was shocking how fast he was....:rolleyes:

    I've been lucky thus far. However my luck almost ran out two weeks ago at a local pet store. I live in a very small Northern Michigan town and the owner of the store often gets unwanted animals dropped off there. She's had an 8 foot red tailed boa there for a few months now and I've started working with the snake to keep her socialized as everyone else there is scared of her. I got over confident with her the last time I took her out and she taught me a lesson. Lets just say that if I didn't have ninja like reflexes I'd be sporting a pretty darn nasty bite on my face.

    I was in that episode of Snakebytes. When Chewy Yelled Rich, he had me go get that king rat and i got tagged pulling it out of the empty rack slot.

    King Rats so far are the worst bite ive encountered.
