27 years of reptile keeping, and not as many bites as you might expect...
Blue tailed skink when I was a kid (took exception to being caught)
Adult male green iguana (my finger in lieu of the fruit I was holding)
3 or 4 different Colombian redtail boas (one in front of a potential buyer at a reptile show...he didn’t purchase her lol)
13’ burmese python (totally my fault for just reaching in and grabbing her rather than using the hook first)
Soloman Island ground boa (wild caught female, never could tame her, nailed me every time I opened the cage)
Colombian rainbow boa (started chewing on my arm when he was around my neck as I cleaned his cage)
I’ll take any of the snake bites (including the burm) over the hamsters, mice, & rats as well as the cats and dogs during my rescue/foster home days.
