[mudflats]

Lets see some of your worst bite pictures! Unfortuneatly i have never had bites worth photographing:mad:....But i am sure there are bite pictures out there worth sharing, thanks jon

[xxmindfuctx]

well, out of the whle collection i was keeping, the only time ive ever had a bite was from a baby ball python, and thats only cause i had just finished feeding like 15 snakes and it was the last one to go back to its tank, decided the side of my finger was a mouse, ended up with a few small scratches thats about it, broke skin in one spot. so yea, that wasnt really worth a picture

[BoidKeeper]

This is from an adult female Ball Python.

What ya think? This was from my 17' Reticulated Python. 25 Stitches on the outside, surgery to put tendons back together, total $17,641.00

[bahreptiles]

Here is a pic of that Retic and myself outside.

She was kinda big huh?..........lol

Well here is a pic of my closest call with a snake bite...I have been bit a lot before but this was to close for comfort. After offering a f/t rat she didn't seem interested so I dropped the rat into a bucket and just took my eyes off her for a second...as I proceeded to shut her cage she lunged out and grabbed the crotch of my track pants. She had a mouthful, a few inches over and I would have been in some serious discomfort lol.

OMG!! THAT RETIC BITE IS INSANE! wow..I didnt realize how bad there bite can be.

[bahreptiles]

Neither did I.........lol. I had her since she was a 2 1/2ft hatchling. I kept her for 7 years and she NEVER tried to bite. That was the one and ONLY time she bit me. Needless to say she went to the zoo. Bite me once shame on you, Bite me twice STUPID ME.
THIS IS HER AT ABOUT 11 FEET.

Words to live by " Don't keep Retics" Trust me on this one! BTW, Dave and Tracy Barker don't keep Retics anymore either.

[wetlander]

Did that retic chew or did you pull back?

Sorry no pics but I was tagged by my 7.5 foot Boa in the hand once. She left a nice ring of pin holes aross my hand (top and bottom). The worst part was the bruising. The tag was hard and turned my hand a nice blue colour that lasted over a week

[Cookie]

Dude how long did that scratch take to heal?... By the way nice snake lol

[bahreptiles]

This was just a QUICK NIP ie: LOVE BITE. That is NOT a good bite. They can do much worse. I got cool scars now........:)

[justinO]

worst bite was from an iggy.. he got me in the cheek and i needed 4 stitches. the bite almost went through to the inside of my mouth. pretty neat.

next worst was from a 4+ blood python on the back of my head. didn't hurt, but it bled like a stuck pig. I have some minor scarring there.

cheers,
Justin

[bahreptiles]

Hey JohnD, i copied and saved your burning man. THANKS. it't cool

[snakers55]

That sucks that she did bite you, but I think that's a pretty cool scar to have, I have never heard of anyone else with a snakebite scar! Very cool snake.

[fateamber]

I've got pics of my first bite, but since it was from a 10" JCP I don't think I'll bother to post them :P It bled a little bit though, I haven't had many bites since.
I didn't know snakes could do so much damage though (the 17' Reticulated Python).
Its good to know what a bite from my bp could look like!!

[V.hb]

No pic but was grabbed on the foot (stupid me wearing sandals) by a 4.5 foot whitethroat monitor. Left my toes black, bloody and a real mess. Luckily nothing broken though.

LOL stole the words right outta my mouth :p

[DragnDrop]

Can't compete with all those snake bites, but this one should rate a vote or two for the Leopard Gecko Bite category.

[McCarthy Boas]

Here is my worst snake bite. "It's only a flesh wound". LOL
This is only a joke. This is not my retic. Read info below.
http://mccarthyboas.com/aretichumn.jpg
For the few that have never seen this picture this picture is fake.
It was staged the man is alive and the retic is the one that is dead.

Take care
Tom

[Thrush]

Glad I live in Canada.
Glad I don't own a retic.
:)

[mudflats]

Nice looking bite from that leopard gecko, i might be posting a nice bite picture by tues. A friend of mine wants me to try handle/clean enclosure of his 7' very aggresive bcc. Outa be a blast! LOL on the man-eating reticulated python, to bad they killed such a snake for the pelasure of a "neat" photograph

[Asian Jon]

No bites on me so far....muwhahahaha, but i guess it will only be a matter of time ahhh.

[CHRISANDBOIDS14]

HOLY CRAP JAMIE! LOL. Wouldnt wanna take a bite there eh??! Maybe wear a hockey can next time? HAHA!

The worst bite I ever suffered fortunately was from my sub adult female boa. She's about 5 feet now. I actually received the bite a few days ago.

I was holding her, and she was a bit panicked. Something had startled her, so, she whipped around and nailed me on the side my left forarm, closer to my elbow. I bled pretty good from that one and received some bruising as well.

[gonesnakee]

Worst one was from a Corn that majorly missed the mouse & got me at the end of the tong in the knuckle. Left a bunch of teeth that slowly worked themselves out over a period of a week for the last despite "my digging". Worst real bite again on the knuckle & inbetween my pinkie & ring finger was from my male Diamond. Good thing hes still small because it sure bled & bruised quite a bit considering it was like a 2 inch strike. Haven't been tagged by a big Carpet yet. Key word being "Yet" touch wood LOL Mark
P.S. Glad someone had some real pics of what a little love bite from a tame Retic can do for all you folk that think them or Rocks make great pets. Great for exhibit though. ; )

Yeah no problem.... I found it online somewhere..;)

[Removed_2815]

Here it is! My worst (only) bite picture. Sustained today, required zero stitches and zero dollars in medical bills to close up the wound, or lack thereof...

You gotta love the photos of the people who get out their cameras before their bandages!

You know you're a herper when....

[robinsky]

I have a 7 foot Retic that bit me in the face . I bit him back!

[zero&stich]

I hope your joking.

[robinsky]

Prior to holding the snake I had forgotten about my daughter placing one of her pet rats on my shoulder. My mistake. As far as me bighting him back HA HA.

[robinsky]

I forgot that prior to handling my snake my daughter had placed one of her pet rats on my shoulder.OUCH. My mistake. Didnt bite em back.

[liltattyprinces]

Worst bite I took was my form my Blood, I really wish now that i took pics, she left a good imperssion of her teeth and I had some lovely coloring from blue to purple that lasted a good week lol. My most recent was from my baby Savnnah Mika, My bad i was feeding the snakes befor i left for classes and went to change her water without washing (stupid me) she latched on and only left a couple little marks but a week later my finger swelled to 3 times it's size and i'm still finishing up my dose of massive antibiotics. To boot i was running a fever of a 103 my dr suggested i get rid of her jokingly but we now keep prescription aintobiotic onitment thanks to my doc, on hand at all times lol.

The Worst or only bite Ive had was from a ridgetail monitor that grabed me between my thumb and finger. He wouldnt let go until I walked downstars into the kitchen and poured viniger on its head!
Has any one here ever get bit by a turtle?

[rwg]

Here's the list of bites I've received in incereasing severity. I have no pics:

Juvie tokays: skin not even broken,

Baby bullsnakes: occasionally I get a pin-prick of blood, but usually no penetration.

Cal kings ranging from baby to adult: worst was being bit an constricted for several minutes by an adult. Was a bit of blood, but no scarring.

1.5 foot Columbian B&G Tegu. This was a quick bite as I was letting him go in a bin for a move to another cage. As I released him, he spun, grabbed my finger, hung for a second and dropped into the bin. A lot of blood, a flap of flesh almost torn off. Pretty much bone deep, but no nerve or tendon damage.

Ironically, it was the tegu bite that cured my fear of bitey snakes. When you know what even a medium sized lizard can do, the dozens of tiny needles in most snakes mouths dont seem so bad anymore, although that retic bite pic is something else.

[robinsky]

I am thinking of selling my retic. if you are interested and have the time for this animal leave a reply. His name is striker but he is a fairly mellow guy who doesnt mind being held.

[Frillie]

No offence but thats what you get for keeping retics...just thank god your not in the small but scary percentage of people that gets killed.

[Frillie]

robinsky...SELLING??? your retic??? You have a snake that can get to be over 30 feet long! AND you already got bit by him once! NO-ONE the least bit compatent will give you money for it. Try paying someone to take it...you MIGHT have better luck.

[dia]

I don't have pictures of it, though I'm sure I could get some of the scar tissue, but when I was about 6 or so I had an adult male iguana latch on to my thigh, lock his jaws and go into rolls.
Yeah, he ripped a huge chunk out of my leg and it took something like 60 odd stitches to fix me back up.
Apparently he was in the middle of breeding season. I don't know what ended up happening to him. My family was visiting with some friends and I went wandering in the house. The iguana was free roaming and either he though I looked like a good mate or that I was invading his turf.

[anaconda]

bahreptiles, could you explain what led to your retic biting you. Just curious that she bit you after 7 years of good behaviour.
