Bite Club

I've only been bit once and that was when I was 12 or so. I was trying to cathc a Northern Water Snake. Just a bite and run. Left two spots of blood from the front teeth.

I've been bitten by numerous dogs and cats. One dog ripped my arm to the tendon when I was about 9 or 10. I've been bitted by lizards (the ones I would catch in the meters when I was young), my tokay geckos, my ball python, a baby yellow anaconda numerous times, my adult yellow anaconda in the face, and a few mice that were trying to run for their life! I'm sure there are others I can't think of.

Hey Corey, two questions.

What the heck are "the meters"? I've never heard that term before and I'm actually curious.

Second, have you ever considered glasses?

The meters are the little boxes you have in your front yard. I believe they control your water flow. That is what I called them anyways. And I do have glasses but how does that relate to this?

The glasses comment was an attempt at humor. If you're getting bit so often you must need glasses. See, wasn't that funny?

Water meters makes sense, I just couldn't figure out if it was some new mile marker or road sign or something like that.

thanks

If the anaconda would have bit me 2 inches higher I would have wished I was wearing my glasses at the time! Luckily it was straight on so I only had 1 row of teeth marks beside my nose. I would have to say the dog bite was the worst and it was done by a golden retriever. That dog was just a little off. I'm not quite as careless as I was before. Live and learn I guess.

Rule #1 of Bite Club - NEVER TALK ABOUT BITE CLUB. Seriously, after years of taking care of many constrictors over 12 feet long and numerous bites, I decided to keep much safer animals - venomous. Mind you, not the butchered up kind that are kid and idiot friendly, either.

I've been bit many, many times. None of them were ever severe. I tend to be much more careful around an animal that can actually cause damage (I get kind of careless around something like a corn snake or small lizard).


The only thing that ever came close to being bad was when a 5 foot yellow anaconda managed to tag me right on the neck and the face. Luckily, neither one was a solid hit, so it didn't even bleed much.

I have been bitten a lot and the worst was either my 4 foot caiman, 10 foot argentine boa, or my macaw. An anole escaped and was in the caimans water, i reached in to get the anole and he got me. He didn't let go like most alligators or caimans do, he held on and shook. The caiman left two teeth in me too. The argentine is huge all around, I was feeding her and she bite me right on the forearm and I bled more then then any other snake bite. My macaw always bites and it hurts a lot more than one would expect. After she bites she will always laugh at me too.
Thanks for looking,
Mike

I've been bitten here and there by my pythons and a boa I used to have, (she nailed me in the face!!!) But my baby Honduran Milks bite me every damn day. It's so cute though! They take their little heads, the size of my index finger, and put their nose right on my hand, and open their mouths and dig in! It's the most pitifully cute thing ever.

I just hope the Red Tegu I just got never decides to bite me!
