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:

OW! ;-;
That has to be scary--I wouldn't like something biting me that close to my face. Hands are one thing, but the neck...:O

worst reptile bite was deff my 8 foot burm. She had a real nasty food response and i had just fed the bps. Not thinking I went into her cage so i could clean it and she tagged me right on my hand. It looked much worse then it really was, but all in all that was the worst bite i ever received. I get bit all the time from bps and after years of it you just get use to it. Luckily i was never tagged by any of my large monitors.

lots of bites over the years, but ide have to with burm bits, back in the day i had a few and seems like no matter how hard i tryed not to get bit they work harded to get me, got it in the face one time hurt like he$%. if any snake can learn its a burm.

:O:O:O:O:O:O:O:O:O:O

i would have poo'd my pants! congrats!

Well, my worst happened about 5 days ago...thankfully, it wasn't anything larger than my 4' ball...I was really STUPID and I went to take out a piece of poo out of his cage after I carried a container of mice into my reptile room. Unbelievably stupid mistake due to my obsessive compusive-ness. he left me bleeding pretty nicely, and I had bruises on the fleshy part of my thumb until yesterday...

I'm a vet tech, and I couldn't draw blood for a few days...it was quite amusing explaining to my bosses why....LOL.

It happens sometime

The only bite I have gotten so far was last week when I got tagged by a hatchling BP. Surprised me more then anything, barely drew any blood. It scared my boy friend even more who was watching very intently as I was popping it. He is terrified of snakes, jumped a mile and screamed like a girl :D at least he knows now that they can't hurt him :P
