Reptilian bites, nothing too spectacular.

Green Iguana
Ret Tailed Boa
Ball Pythons (every so often)
Jungle Carpet (about once a month)
A bunch got me over the years; mostly mid-west colubrids.
Black Rats, Racers, Garters
Water Snakes with really big teeth


Non-reptilian bites, only the most memorable.

.. Porcupine; (quilled me, which hurt as bad as a bite).
.. Cat; messed me up pretty bad when I was a kid, a herd of them lived under my Grandmother’s house and I jumped on one to catch it. I never wanted to let go of something so bad in all my life.
… Pony; bit me in the back, I thought it took out a chunk of flesh it hurt so badly. Ponies are pure evil.
… Gerbil; hurt a lot, but not as much as the pony.

I try to only keep Pythons now because colubrid bites get all red and swell up; I’m guessing I’m allergic to the toxins in their saliva. I’m Ok with Pythons and Boas; I just bleed.

Bunnies are more evil than ponies!
