The Herp Bite List

[piranha45]

I do not and have not kept herps since I was a preteen, personally, and I've been fortunate enough to have not been bitten by one... although I wouldn't consider box turtles to be threatening biters :P

If you've ever been bitten by an amphibian/reptile, let's hear about it! Be sure to include the specie, the size of the specimen, and how much physical damage it did to its target.

[M|L]

I've been bitten by my blue lined skink. I bought a pair of them at like 4" and they just bite you whenever you try to handle them; doesn't really hurt though. Pretty fast runners too, almost lost them twice!

I've been bitten by iguanas also, by a sub-adult close to probably 2.5ft long, and it really didn't hurt much.

[rayman45]

i was bitten by my littler alligator

[piranha45]

so tell us about the battle damage, rayman.




do iguanas have pointy teeth, or do they have flat molar-like teeth?

[rayman45]

well

nothing no blood
but you know when you put a tac under you skin so it hangs, but it does not hurt

thats what it was like

he is still little 12"

[M|L]

do iguanas have pointy teeth, or do they have flat molar-like teeth?

sharp. :eek:

[DaemoNox]

Hmm lets see...... here is my list of bites:

Anoles - numourus times

Leopard geckos - a few times

Baby corn snakes - a few times, rarely breaks the skin

Baby bairds ratsnake - twice from my scared male

Ball python (3ft) - thats more of a bite, leaves a nice set of teeth marks

Boa constrictor(5.5ft) - Feeding accedent, I believe I still have a tooth in my thumb from her

Reticulated python(4.5ft) - Just a baby, wants nothing to do with me, shes gotten my twice, once on my finger and another right above my eye

Burmese python(8ft) - First time I was lucky, it was a feeding responce and got my shirt more then anything. Second time I wasnt so lucky, another feeding responce but he got me on the wrist and held it, I caught him before he could constrict, punctured a few veins but could of been a lot worse, almost had to go to the hospital. (at 6 feet these snakes are strong enough to kill)

Take each of those bites and add in extra soreness and swelling for a few days from being allergic, It serves as a painful reminder that these are still wild animals, and when working with dangerous ones you need to be very careful, no matter how calm the animal may seem, for its natural instincts will overpower anything learned in captivity.

[piranha45]

Wow, now THAT is a fine list of battle scars. Do you feel anything from anole and gecko bites?

[DaemoNox]

Anoles didnt feel like much, the leapard gecko did manage to break the skin and was a bit sore, but nothing like the snake bites

[walls]

Been "nailed" by Boa's from 11" to 11', by Burms from 24" to 15', by one Retic 13', and by one very nasty Green Tree Python at least 7 times.

I had everything from small nicks to multiple stitches!

I love this stuff!

[pufferking]

[WckedMidas]

i had a couple. Worse was when the 5 foot black snake got me between my nose and eye,. Me and my dad had to lie to my mother bvout that one. She made us a deal when we caught it if it bites me she choping the head off it. So that was dads and mine little secret. I got nailed in the thumb by a 3 and a half foot garder snake i caught . The black snake didnt realy hurt but did break the skin and was bleeding alittle. The garder just left a whole bunch of little droplets of blood. Iguana bit me cant remember where but it got me i think it was on my hand between thumb and for finger.

[HilJack41]

I have a baby ig named Gunit.. the other day i was tring to socilize him round my brother and he freaked out when my bro go his face close to him so i was like aight ill stick my face next to his liek i do somtimes to show him theree is no danger i am not gonna eat him, well just as i was liek see jordan hes jsut scared i placed a little swak right between his eyes, and he grabbed my lip! i guess he really wanted to kiss me back!! but it flippin hurt, so i was thought hmmmmmmm now what do i do? he's was hanging off my face and randomly grited his teeeh and jsut tore right in, damn it was liek a razor blade :eek: , i was gonna let him let go alone so i sat for 10 minets while he randomly tightened his bite on my lipp and it was bleeding like nuts, eventually i was liek f this is redic and i grabed his jaw and forced it open. i looked and him and he had my blood runnign all over and he looks at me and licks his lips. that ungreatful bioch. i wanted to smak him but what good whould that do itd just make him worse, so i gave him a bath and moved on.

[Caveman]

Damn you guys may have just ruined any chance of me getting a herp. My dogs bite me enough as it is and I really dont fell like adding snakes and lizards to the things that like to bite me list.

[HilJack41]

Yeah you get bit/ whipped/ stung but its all worth it, you gotta give a little pain to gain alot of fun. :D my fish bite me too lol a pirranah took the tip of my pinky (OW!) but i still love my fish it adds a little excitement to the hobby anyways!

[piranha45]

that iguana of yours is BRUTAL, haha! jeez.

[HilJack41]

i will post a picture when i get one... he is a hansom lil brute.. he's worth it

[guppy]

Although I have only been bitten by 2 pets, a 10" tokay gecko and an 8" soft shell turtle, I have been bitten by some herps in the wild. They include , a 6' indigo snake, an 8' boa, gopher snake, kingsnakes, bullsnake. terrapins of various kinds, an eastern box turtle, a 4' caiman, and a water moccasin, a 18"black taegue, and a couplle of green iguanas. It was always my fault. The soft shell took stitches as did the taegue and one iguana bite. The caiman took only a couple of stitches bot the deeper punctures got infected and cost me a week in the hospital ward. I got lucky with the moccasin as it's fangs went THROUGH the web of my thumb and envenomation was minimal. There was a lot of pain but not much tissue destruction. I used to teach survival foods and shelter class in Panama so it was only fair for the critters to try and bite me as I at most of them.Caiman is quite tasty.

[piranha45]

I bow down to guppy too heh.

How was the boa bite? Terrapin bites don't remove flesh?

[guppy]

Tho boa bite bled pretty good but since I pulled the teeth out of my arm without yanking away it did not slice, sulfa and dry dressings took care of it. Big turtles like river terrapins are dangerous and can take fingers easily, some can take chunks the size of baseballs. The only ones I was bitten by were small and while I was cut I did not lose flesh. Also watchout for thier claws.

[Bmf_bt]

i've been dealing with herps for some time now(5 years) and have only been tagged once, be a baby burmese.

[Daddyo72]

I got nailed by my 8 foot burm once. He mistook me for a rat. I had to wait for him to let go which took forever. It left a real cool bite mark though.

[guppy]

I got nailed by a 5' girlfriend once, she mistook me for a rat also. :p

[piranha45]

ahahahah

[rayman45]

guppy is my new best friend and role model

[Maelgwyn]

MAN I wish we could get snakes over here in NZ!!

Due to strict bio-security laws, and small flightless birds being severely endangered, snakes are a BIG no-no here... Not even zoo's have them!

Same with pirahna, not allowed them, 'cause they'd survive too well in our main river, the Waikato... :swear:

[pufferking]

ive got one too add the other day at work i was putting away a reptile order when a fire skink bit me. he would let go either.

[SharkLover]

I don't think I've ever been bitten....but I was holding a lizard and its mouth was open...

[guppy]

I don't think I've ever been bitten....but I was holding a lizard and its mouth was open...
I don't think I should ask...

[MasterMing]

I've been bit a few times.

2ft baby retic
8 in baby blue tongue skink
8 in baby savanah monitor
5 in pacman frog
10in red ear slider

Luckily nothing serious, but I am proud to say that I've dodged about 20 snake bites. LIKE BRUCE LEE UP IN HERE.

[Jason]

Okie this is gonna take awhile lol

Boa constrictors from 14-60 inches
Burmese pythons 20-72 inches
Snapping turtles 6 inches
Assorted pine/bull/gopher snakes 24-48 inches
Garter snakes 20 inches mostly
Monitor lizards, savana mostly 20 inches
Iguanas 20-36 inches (those really suck dont try that at home)
One very irate bearded dragon

Painted turtles, all sizes
Rainbow boas, all sizes
African rock pythons, nothing larger than 8 feet
Tiger Retic 9 foot (bleed like a demon those are some really effective teeth)

African Bullfrog about six inches around missed the mouse got my finger no damage but a lot of laughter
Chameleons Veiled and panther (big teeth and a good grip)
Macklots pythons (i've honestly lost count on those)

Thats a short list, used to work in a reptile store so i saw a great many critters most of teh ones that bit me came home with me, i like spunk in a pet.

Anyhow if i remember anything special i'll be sure and add it :)

Jason

[rayman45]

Snapping turtles 6 inches


Jason

was it bad

[piranha23]

I wanna hear more anecdotes!

[guppy]

I love tokays, I f they get to tame they stop barking and that's no fun. I love the way they make unsuspecting people jump.

[Gibbus]

[HilJack41]

guppy? refering to g unit or to a totaly difrent person!

[bigblob81]

lets see

A few nips from my old iguana
A little bite from a skink I used to have
A big bite from a 2' 7" boa I used to have
Countless bites from wild snakes and such and a nice bite to my hand from a snapper I was trying to move off the road (actually had to have stitches0
And a bite on my same hand like 2 weeks later from a 6" red belly right after feeding. That needed stitches too.

[guesswho2005]

Well this is my list most are do to me:

Anoles many many times
North American Alligator, got my hand hurt bad, little sucker tore the skin when he rolled.
Horse back of the head, three stiches
Rottweiler, BAD BAD, five hours on a surgions table lost count at 850 stiches, Back of my head and neck look more like a road map.
Muski still have the scars on my upper arm.
North American Pike, have small scars lower arm
Piranha, nice circular scar left hand
American Eel, did not like being hooked. My friends were laughing so hard they couyld not help. Said it reminded them of saturday morning cartoons. Unless your the one running around with a four foot eel rapped around your arm and head while he's bitting the S#%t out of you. And the slime is so wonderful, and Lets not forget about the infection oh boy it was so much fun.

[piranha45]

awesome lists, gentlemen!

guesswho, elaborate on the rottweiler incident? which junkyard were you stealing parts from? :P

[Gibbus]

The dwarf caiman i had was one of my fav animals.

[piranha45]

what fate befell the bringer of 11 stitches, sir?

[Gibbus]

The dwarf caiman went to a zoo

[Gibbus]

The croc in my picture belongs to my friend

[guesswho2005]

Thr Rottweiler was one of our kennel projects we used to train rotts for perimiter protection, You let him lose and he will watch and destroy any intruders. I was working blue 29" 145LBS hard and when I was done a female was released into the yard for a buyer. Blue was worked up and pull me over a three foot fence by the neck, tore two big ripps in the back of my neck missed my juglure by 1/4 inch. I got lose but he was on my head. I can honestly say I know what a rotts ass looks like from the other side. I was home on leave from the Marines and was able to break loose. The head bite left a scar the runs from my left eye all the way to the back of my head. All in all two 6" scars back of neck, two 4" scars on the other side of my neck "he needed a better grip", one long fang mark that was the result of me choking him and pulling on my head out of his mouth its just above the left eye and all the way to meet the other scars on my neck. The doctor lost count at 850 and three hours on the table. We sold the dog he had no fear of me and I could not work him anymore. He did a job on a guy in Kansas two years ago in a junk yard they found the chump in a recked car bleeding for someone to call the police. He had to deal with Bluse for 6 hours I had my fun in under 6 seconds. OH boy

[piranha45]

dayyyyyyamn....

[SharkLover]

nevermind I've gotten bitten by Five-Lined Skink. XD

[piranha45]

did he pierce the skin? if not, did it at least hurt?

[SharkLover]

nope it didn't hurt, it surprized me! XD
but it did bite me.

[cenecker]

I'm not even gonna bother adding up my herp bites...... way too many to remember.

The only bad ones I've ever gotten were from a tokay that wouldn't let go, a big anitsocial iguana and almost losing a finger to my argentine tegu. I made the one time only mistake of preparing his food and not washing my hands before getting into his enclosure. As I set the bowl down he sniffed my finger and opted to go for that instead. Now Chief can crush mice and whole trout heads with one bite, so I wasn't able to move my finger for a while. I was lucky though, he didn't break it...or rip it off.

[piranha45]

very cool! how big is he? i wasnt aware monitors lived in south america..

[d20monsteroscar20]

I have been biten by a tarantula before. my oscars wen I feed them. this German Shepard bite me once. Thats all I can remember I hope it counts!

[cenecker]

Tegus aren't monitors. :wall: Chief is supposably about 8 months-1 year old. He's about 33-35 inches long (he won't straighten out and hold still for long enough to get a real accurate measurement). Last week he was at the vet and weighed in at 3.8 lbs.

[piranha45]

tegu are pretty similar to varanus though, perhaps?

[cenecker]

Well yes and no. They're both large predatory lizards, but that's about it. They don't share much genetic ancestery.

Varanids are also much more primative animals. Tegus are much more evolved and intelligent (My big tegu Chief is house-broken...if you believe that :) ).

[guesswho2005]

I do not and have not kept herps since I was a preteen, personally, and I've been fortunate enough to have not been bitten by one... although I wouldn't consider box turtles to be threatening biters :P

If you've ever been bitten by an amphibian/reptile, let's hear about it! Be sure to include the specie, the size of the specimen, and how much physical damage it did to its target.

Ok I got an addition to add yesterday. Anyone ever seen a Tire Tack eel sleep upside down well me either. I had so many problem with this guy and I tought I had it solved. I went to feed him and there he was up-side down in his PVC tube. I thought Dam , and removed top and reached in to pull him from the tube. He is a very deep sleeper apparently and as I was pulling him by the head when he woke up. Blinked his eyes and at that time I realized this was not goin to end well. I made a dash for safety with my eel right on my hand he grab my little finger did very little damage but mostly startled the S#$t out me. The wall now has water stains and my wife can't stop laughing. :rofl:

[piranha45]

hehe nice anecdote. how big was the eel?

[rayman45]

not fish

reptiles
what REPTILES bit u

[guesswho2005]

not fish

reptiles
what REPTILES bit u

this is a fish site right.........This is for the RAYMAN45 went fishing when i was 12 in a small lake in NY, I got hold of a large snapping turtle it took me a long time to get him in. Went to my mother and asked if I could keep him. He was a little under 20" in lenght and she told me no way if it bites. she took a stick and hit it on the nose. Well I'll be damed if it reached out on bite the hell out of her hand I had to stick a stick in between its jaws to free her. 12 stiches and you guessed it the snapper went back in the water.

:22_yikes:

[guesswho2005]

hehe nice anecdote. how big was the eel?

He's right at 18" and 3" thick. has a bit of an attitude problem,

[Killduv]

I was bitten by a ribbon snake that I caught in the park many years ago.
Not pain at all.

[MouthWash]

i have has my finger taken off by a alligator snapping turtle lucky for me they sewed my finger back on. and it hurt like all hell !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TNReptile]

Greetings everyone, :newbie: here. I've been dealing with herps since I was a young 'un. To say the least I'm just blown away from all the stuff yall have. I though I was doing good with a 150 gallon tank. :screwy:
Lets see, bites:

Snakes- Numerous colubrids-Green snakes, Garters, Kings, Ratsnakes, Corns, Racers, almost every type of colubrid in the South East.
Pythons-Balls, Burmese, Womas, Scrubs, Carpet.
Boas-Red-tails, Hog Island, Green Anaconda, Yellow Anaconda.
None were that bad. The Woma was about the worst because it was a sneaky bite like one of the colubrids, and got a full imprint. The Green Anaconda left three teeth in one of my knuckles. I got bit by my friends yearling Albino Burm four days ago, 18 holes in the same finger. Ticked me off more than anything.

Turtles-Box, Snappers, Musk, Red-ears, all were young ones, so no harm no foul.

Lizards-Iguanas, Skinks, Anoles, Geckos, Savannah Monitor, Nile Monitor, Black Throat Monitor. The worst from these wasen't actually a bite. I did get tail whipped by a 5 1/2 ft. Iguana across the back. Not cool, worse than a bite. When in FL. I'll walk around conventions with anoles attached to my ear lobes.

Crocodillians-American Alligators, Spectacled Caimens, Dwarf Caimens. Again all young ones, so no harm no foul.

No venomous as of yet, I hope to never be that unlucky. I'll have to post some pics from some of our hunts sometime.

[guppy]

I thought I was they only one who used live earrings, lol, I tried that stumt with a northern alligator lizard about 8' long ONCE. Took almost a week before the bruising faded. Yup, I'm a moron sometimes!

[TNReptile]

Ouch! Baby Savannahs work good also.:D

[piranha45]

iguanas tail-whip as a defensive measure.. that's a new one on me. know of any other lizards that do it?

do only certain iguanas tailwhip, or can you expect it from any grown specimen?

[DeLgAdO]

I had a 4 foot male green ig about 4 years, bought him at 10 in for 20$, i first socialized him in the bathroom since their was no palce to hide or escape, ****ER BIT MY PINKY, left a nice gash, after that insident he never bit me again. . . on purpose, at 4 feet and 10 pounds hand feeding him was dangerous because he was over eager, nipped (and i say that heavily) me every time i fed him bananna pieces containing a vitamin tablet. Holding him hurt as well, scales are worse than sandpaper especially against the grain( hehe no other wa yto say it).

[guppy]

Most monitors, waterdragons, and caiman lizerds tailwhip.

[cenecker]

Most everything with a tail big enough to do damage tail whips

[Isis_Nebthet]

I had a three foot iguana other than tail whips we got along well.....

One day the neighbor came over to use the phone and he had a cast on his arm and she went straight up tearing the heck out of his hand with her claws. Even maintained ig claws can be awful ;)

[piranha45]

was it an unprovoked attack on the neighbor?

[Isis_Nebthet]

kind of....her favorite spot was the back of the couch and I'm sure his arm just looked like a good way up so I can't really call it an attack..She was just climbing...

[bosshawg]

i had a 3' mexican spiny tailed iguana that clawed me to the white meat and bit me numerous bite and drew blood but i wouldnt trade him for the world i had him for almost 6yrs

[joel]

two foot spectacled caimen, that hurt a little. 10 foot burmese python. african sideneck turtle. and a least 2 dozen more snakes. the tokay gecko has a good clamp.

[piranha45]

did the sideneck turtle remove any flesh/give a serious cut?

[cenecker]

the tokay gecko has a good clamp.

Sure is amazing what a punch that tiny little lizard packs...takes FOREVER to unattach one from your finger....learned that hard way :headshake

[guppy]

Sure is amazing what a punch that tiny little lizard packs...takes FOREVER to unattach one from your finger....learned that hard way :headshake
I have one hanging from my hand right now, really.

[piranha45]

their jaws are so strong you can't just push/pry em off?

[guppy]

I just wait til they let go because I don't want to risk hurting their mouth and causing an infection, doesn't really hurt me but this time the little bastard drew a little blood. It got me while I was picking droppings out of the tank. It only held on for a few minutes.

[pete620]

Savana Monitor- 3 ft.
Savana Monitor- 18 in. By far the worst bite, he latched on while I was treating a neglected rat bite from his last owner.
Yellow Tree Monitor- 24 in.
Nile Moniter- 3 ft.
Mali Uromastyx- 9 in.
Milk Snake- 24 in.
Flying Gecko- 6 in. It's kind of cute when he bites me.
Tokay Gecko- 8 in.
Blue Tongue Skink- 18 in. He bit me on the neck after I set him on my shoulder.

[Gooda]

I do not and have not kept herps since I was a preteen, personally, and I've been fortunate enough to have not been bitten by one... although I wouldn't consider box turtles to be threatening biters :P

You wouldn't think that Box turtles could do much damage... One time when I hand fed my 8" Terrapin Carolina carolina he got me by accident. It was like getting cut by a knife, It went clear to the bone, and left a nice scar on my middle finger.

[DeLgAdO]

NO ****!! i got whacked across the face by my iguanas tail, left a big ass welt.

He was just mad that you were flirring him off. seriously, turtles have hellacious bites. I saw a Nat. Geographic film once that showed some small african turtles mobbing a duck until they drug it down and ate it. Pretty cool but now when I go swimming anywhere with a good turtle population I imagine them after me like the classic piranha movies.

[Newt]

So this is kinda funny:

My ex boyfriend's dad and uncle came over to the apartment. They were looking at my golden skink. Ex's dad asked about, is it mean, etc. I was like "No way, he's really nice, loves attention! Do you want to hold him?"

Reach in to pick up "Goldie" and the damm skink latches onto my finger and wouldn't let go! I've had that skink for 4 years, NEVER had it bite or act mean! Ex's dad and uncle are laughing so hard they are crying, I'm running into the kicthen with this skink dangling from my hand, trying not to swear or cry. Goldie let go after I ran some cold water over him, but no one would handle any of my animals after that!

It didn't really hurt, but OMG WHY did it have to freak out with company present?!

[Nic]

[Filthy Sanchez]

[dapike1979]

My old veilled Chameleon use to bite me @ least once a week!! Puff the magic dragon what a jerk!! :swear:

[guppy]

I don't have a story but I found this picture.
I forgot about the salamanders, lol. I have been bitten by mudpuppies, rough skinned newts, tiger salamanders, and a lesser siren. in all those cases I was more concerned with not hurting the critter than getting it to let go, they don't hurt.
