Ouch!!!!!!!

Last night I was handling my gecko and he was acting normal and calm. Then suddenly he swung around and bit my finger really hard. This wasn't one of those fust a few teeth mark bites he drew a fair amount of blood. It was still gushing out blood 10 minutes after my bite and it still stings. I've been bit by full grown green tree pythons but i never expected this out of my very calm male leo. It was worse than when I got bit by an 16 inch plated lizard which was twice as big as him. Wow do leos have powerful jaws.

those jaws shure are powerfull. Mini mousetraps if you ask me. lol

My wife is a bird fanatic. She used to have a Green Cheek Conure which is only about 6 inches tall. I tell you what, when that lil bugger bit yah... you knew you were getting bit! It always drew blood. When her 1 ft tall African Grey bites it is only about 1/10th the pain. I think it is kind of along the lines of the Napolean complex... the smaller the bigger the bite.

Ive had a few bite me really bad too, hurts a heck of a lot more than a tokay anyday lol

Im always kinda glad it hurts like crap since it means they have nice strong jaws on them!
