My crestie had some skin on his nose and I went to pull if off and when I started to pull he bit me :p I know geckos will open there mouths like that when there is skin on there face getting pulled off, but I never though he would get me :p I had a little chuckle and put him back.

Have any of you got bit by one?

My male bit me the first day I got him, was petting on the top of the head before I put him into his cage and he bit me twice, fast suckers, did about as much damage as falling on a matress.

I've been bit a couple times while moving them around while cleaning. I find it really funny when the females are irretated and they start to shake and grunt at you. They usually do this when they are gravid.

Yup, know what you mean. I've been bitten by one of my females in particular on more than one occasion. The first time she did it I was shocked and litterally said outloud. "Oh no, You didn't!" lol, she is such a little bugger. Always been hard to handle though so it shouldn't have been that shocking. ;) Funny though, 2 of my 4 are easily handled and 2 are spastic. :D
