Hi everyone well after years of keeping herps and not one ever being bitten my streak has ended. First my white’s tree frog bit me. as funny as that sounds, it didn’t do anything too me but technically he got me while mistaking my thumb for a meal. Then my female pts gave me a little nip while I was trying too free her form where she had trapped herself hanging upside down. an lastly tonight my newly acquired caiman nabbed my hand, that’s 3 in just a few days, none did any damage (few tooth marks from the PTS. but nothing major. but it still ends my streak with herps. But on a side note its only been the past couple years I have ventured out of keeping just boids. And I still have never been bitten bye any snake (knock on wood.) just thought I’d share.

Lol Devon I rember the first bite I ever got was from a green frog we were keeping in a rubbermaid overnight at the cottage and released the next day. In hunger I guess the little guy thought I was food and nipped my pinky.(We feed them a few crickets befor we released them so they'd have a good start to the day). Never been bit by my corn( he's to much of a sweetie for that) and my ball python nipped me once when I was feeding her and she missed the rat. ( The tongs were too short I guess) It didn;t hurt to much though. Devon I would imagine a bite from a caiman would hurt:S:S Do you have any pics of the little guy? I always thought it would be neat to keep one, maybe when I have my own place i'll devote the basement to one and build a pool for it and what not.
Thanks for sharing
rock on
