The Bite Report

[GartersRock]

I have been bit a lot. Sadly, I have never taken pics. I should next time. Although you guys might get sick of seeing them.
My BRB bit me a couple weeks ago. That was pretty bad. lol!

My female Albino Gopher tagged this morning...

Now for the pics.. I was bleeding and wanted to take pics but my husband told me I needed to clean the bite site up first and then take the pics so here they are..

Well, your in luck! I have a couple pics of a bite from a large gopher snake (over 5 feet long) that still have blood . I knew these pics would come in handy someday.

This happened a year or so ago. I reached down at her, and was watching my right hand cause I knew she was aggressive, but before I knew it she threw a lightning quick strike way over and cut my left hand. It didnt really hurt at all, but it sure woke me up.
Dripped blood pretty good for a few minutes, healed within a few days. I just remember I was so impressed with her accuracy- it must have been near a 2 foot strike!

Here is the outside of the finger


and the other side of the same finger.

Chomper head bunts me, no bites yet.

just HOPE that you never have to expierience the excruciating pain that is a monitor's bite... UGH! LOL! Fluffy the savannah monitor was always trying to bite me before I tamed her down, she only succeeded once. I was sitting indian-style on the floor and had her in front of me... she seemed pretty relaxed... but see I did not have socks on, and I am CONSTANTLY subconciously wiggling my toes. Fluffy immeditely became offended by my toes wiggling next to her and CHOMPED down on my right second toe... HARD. And Fluffy was biting out of anger... and she meant it... and boy did I feel it. For 15 minutes, fluffy held on, and every 15 second or so, she'd give an extra hard squeeze for good measure. Then she did the death roll and basically skinned my toe. I could not walk without a limp for a week!! LOL!

OUCH!!!

I have heard the skulls crush when chomper eats

He also seems to have a thing about feet, and once he head bopped Dorothy right in the "special area" while she was sitting on the floor.

Thankfully her Mudd jeans are quite rugged, but she still jumped

I would have jumped too!! I used to feed Willy,(the iguana who bit me)
grapes, If you had them in your hand, he would come right up to you.

a week after he had bitten me, he would come up on my bed & lay his head on me. He wanted me to forgive him!

Willy was a 5ft male iguana(at the time was 9 yrs old), he free roamed, his set up(basking & UVB) in my son's room closet.
