    Oh goodness...where to start. I've been tagged by just about every species of animal normally kept in a pet store. I'll bold the more painful ones from my (crappy) memory;
    Bp, RTB, childrens python, cornsnake, kingsnake, milksnake, iguana, beardie (baby), savannah, water monitor, tegu, nile, pacman, leo's, tokay, horned lizard, agama, (never been chomped by a tortoise or turtle), Oscar fish (youngin's), parakeet, conure, macaw, cockatoo, cockatiel, african gray, dog (small / large breed pups), kitten, cat, hamster, rat, gerbil, ferret, prairie dog, skunk, marmoset, fennec fox, guinea pig, pygmy opossum, sugar glider

    I've probably forgotten a few, but you get the idea. Most of these were quick bites, so nothing too terrible. The Prairie dog...ugh. I was holding it to sex it, while a salesperson was talking to the customer. The entire time I'm holding this little PITA it's gnawing on the skin between by thumb and pointer. Generally you try not to scream in agony in front of customers, so I just stood there holding it while it chewed through my skin. I pipped up when the salesperson said "Oh, they don't bite! They're calm as can be!" restating that anything with a mouth can bite, and every new animal will need some working with, that some pd's can be bitey. Then I put it back in the cage, leaned over to the customer and told her maybe a skunk would be a better choice.

    Also, marmosets are evil. Cute, adorable...but evil. *shakes fist*

    All of the snakes we had were young ones, except the smaller species. We would get in adult corns / kings / milks / children's pythons every once in a while.

    Edit: Being a Floridian, I can definitely agree that fire ants SUCK. Blarg. *shivers*
