The Herp Bite List

[piranha45]

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.

man i sure wish I'd seen that national geographic episode!

Got bit by my redtail on the chest a few nights ago. Took me about 20 minutes to get her off (her teeth out). Wasn't to fun.

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?!
