I've been bitten by every animal under the sun, but the worst reptile bites I've had were: green iguana (adult, defensive, worst bite ever), tokay (adult, defensive), ackie (adult, defensive, multiple times), bearded dragon (adult, sick animal resisting being medicated), common snapper (pretty big one, mistaken feeding strike). All of these bites caused a lot of bleeding but no stitches needed. I have also been bitten by large boa constrictors two times. Once was on the forearm, when I was taking newly born babies away from Mom. The other was a mistaken feeding strike on the wrist. That one didn't bleed much but left part of my hand numb for a few weeks. I've actually gotten a few mistaken feeding strikes from that same animal.

All of these bites could have been avoided if I had been on my A-game. But I've worked with animals for about 17 years, so I'm bound to have made some mistakes.
