Bite Pics

Well today Fluffy my Asian Water Monitor was not in the mood to be handled, even though I had to do some cleaning and water change, and she let me know it.

I thought I would share these pics as we get alot of perspective monitor owners around here, to show that even a monitor that is tame can and still may bite at times.

She is a great monitor, and only about 1/4 of her adult size right now.

...ha...when she is full grown.....you will be getting fingers nipped off ;)

VERY impressive lady you have there. And I hope you cleaned that bite well. I hear monitor saliva is pretty nasty stuff.

LOL! Of course!!

Lovely tag there.

Water monitors get HUGE. At the reptile zoo I used to work at they had a 6' one that was about oh.. 60lbs probably.

Nice tag. Did she bite and release, or did she hang on and bulldog you?

She's beautiful!

Bulldoged me for about 2 min before she decided she wasnt getting any results with her mouth.

Ouch Sean! Amazing we can love critters that do that to us isn't it LOL
