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.

Nile Moniter- 3 ft.
Mali Uromastyx- 9 in.
Milk Snake- 24 in.

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.piranha45 said: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
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.
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.Gooda said:
