Animal bites...Discuss!

[BrandiR]

By most accounts, ball python bites don't hurt. I haven't been bitten by mine yet but I'm sure it's only a matter of time since everything that can bite me eventually does.

Help me prepare! What's the worst animal bite you've ever had?

For me : African Grey, hands down. He hates me.
Getting your finger stuck in the Swifter hole kind of sucks too. I know, that's not an animal, but it feels like a bite.

So...what am I looking at here? Way less painful than either of those?

Just about anything is worse than a bp bite. A cat scratch hurts more. The biggest part about a bp hitting you is the startle effect. A little blood may be drawn but it's more like a small scratch/scrape.

Fire ants.

I'd rather a 100 BP bites than a single good dog bite. I was badly bitten by a dog when I was little, 16 stitches. I have been bitten by dogs since and they suck (real bites not nips) Cat bites are the next worst in my experience then small birds (parakeets, finches ect.) and last snake bites (BPs and a corn)

penguin bites stink! They grab and twist, the beginning of my training was easy to tell people to keep their hands out of the enclosure cause I just showed them my scars..

As for pets, my tegu bites are a bit rough..
Been tagged by a corn and one of my balls, I could barely notice they bit me.

Getting bit in the a$$ from my cousins rot that hurts. Im not to scared of a snake bite. My three balls are real calm so it will be more of a shock then anything else. I hate fire ants omg got like 15 bites one time on my foot when i lived in florida. The worst part is when they start to itch id scratch my foot until it bled.

I got a good chunk taken out of my finger by a conure at work. I've been bit by my leopard gecko (didn't hurt, just scared me but he did draw blood)

I've never been bit by a hamster, but I'm nervous about picking them up at work because I know they can do some damage.

About 12 years ago I was wrapped by an adult female, my fault btw, and while scary for a second was in the end just a bunch of little holes in a half circle.

Now the Collie mix dog that chewed on my forearm as a young teenager gave me a proper bite. The worst, most traumatic anyway, was the neighborhood doberman that pinned and chomped the face when I was real little, like 4-6: too young to understand the implication of the phrase "police dog".

Give me a ball python bite any day.

I'm sure you will be bitten by your bp eventually. It happens. Ever owned a cat that has never scratched you? It scares you a touch and that's pretty much it. A bp probably will draw blood, but it's just like a paper cut. But less painful. Hamster and gerbil bites are way worse. And children. My little sister bit me in the butt once when she was about 2. Bad day, lol.

I've been bitten by small wild snakes I've caught and it doesn't hurt by it kind of freaked me out when the bite harder and kinda twist but a rooster will bite harder.
