Hi,
I'm not worried about it, but have you been stung?

I personally am a little worried about it. I feel that's good though, because it'll keep me on guard and away from doing stupid things.
 
Also,
I'd love to have someone with experience tell me about it. I'm sure it almost never happens if you're careful though...
 
its called dont be stupid.... if your stupid you will get stung... if your smart you will be fine... RESPECT the animal and dont be STUPID....
 
i was stupid once..not really stung..i was removing a 12" ray from a net holding the stinger between my thumb and forefinger after about a minute she decided she had enough a quickly jerking away..thumb and forefinger were cut to the bone..the pain for 4 hours was unimaginable.gives a whole new repect to rays..one of the stupidest things i have ever done.:screwy:
 
Know where your ray is at ALL times and you will have no worries...

Geeze, that's why I don't want a ray. i admire them but only from a distance.
 
ive never been stung.. i highly doubt i ever will... my ray is more scared of me then i am of her..

rays are like dogs... or should i say dogs are like rays?

be kind and caring.
 
By all the precautions, I mean all of them. I'm not worried and thank you very much for your help.
