YEAH
OOH
would hurt like:cens0r:

Back in my teens when I bred monitors I had my share of bites mainly from the same large female argus, the funny thing is they were mainly a graze and it was like puncturing an artery

An 8 foot burm latched onto my hand and tried to coil around my arm...but I got lucky and was able to brace myself against the cage wall so she couldn't get around it completely. Took 20 minutes before she finally let go. There was a surprising amount of blood involved...but once it was all cleaned up and the swelling from the initial trauma went down, you could hardly tell anything had happened.

Wow
I always wonder if burms bites are really bad

I've been very lucky. My "Worst" was from a full grown adult Cuban Knight Anole. (I know not very exciting right?) He was always nervous about hands coming into his cage, and always went into defensive mode. I usually used a towel to get him out because he was so nuts. Well I needed to get him out to clean the cage, and I got him in a good position with my hand behind his head and most of his body secure. I thought I was all good till he nearly snapped his neck 180 degrees and shredded my thumb down quite a bit. One of his teeth went down pretty deep. Lots of blood, and a nice sized puncture in my thumb. Healed up nicely but still I've been lucky that has been my worst.

The bite wasn't so bad as my reaction:
