Personal stories?

After looking at all of the forums I attend, I was wondering if anyone had a story of some sort, working with crocodilians, or at least being around them..

Last October:
Now Im not one to normally show off, however, for the likes of me I seem to do so whenever there's a good looking woman around. I'm sure you've been there from one time or another.

Well, a friend and I went up to the City to meet up with another friend who also keeps reptiles. The friend I rode up with wanted to buy a few snakes off of the local resident, so I figured I'd go, can never meet to many people in the same hobby.
As they were piddling with a few Kenyan Sand 'majigs' I figured I'll walk around like I was someone of importance. Most of the stuff he had, I really knew little of. I did however, notice the guy had a sister, a very cute one at that. So ya' know, play it smooth.. So while walking around, fixing my collar on my colar-less shirt, I noticed something he had that I've been wanting since like the 50s. I walked up to a specified cage which held a very healthy suit case. (Yacare)
So, like a 7 year old child in a candy store, I pleaded to see it.. With my hands.
Now, before this incident, I have never seen a yacare in person, much less held one. However, this did not deter my eagerness to paw the animal. The guy wasn't to sharp on me holding the animal, but I reassured him that I've held yacares on a common basis for some good years. Lies but he doesn't know..
After a good bit of conning and well, throwing a tantrum he finally asked if I've ever been bitten. Of course not, I know what I'm doing.. Especially when there's a woman looking on at us. I didn't want her to know I was occasionally clumsy, I'm a man. After giving my informational status to this guy he finally gave in and said have at it. A lot of work to hold a caiman.. A woman was looking.
Well, as I went to grab this animal with 3 people watching my skillful hand at task, the son of a yeah took a swing and latched onto my pointer.
I'm not exactly sure what all happened being I was drowned in laughter. I am told I squeaked like a girl and the caiman became the first caiman to ever orbit the planet. I was a bit embarrassed after somewhat bragging about my flawless feats and also with a girl watching, laughing, and just standing there. I got no sympathy.
In conclusion, don't beg, it's never a good move. That, and always know women are evil.

Anyone else?

Saltwater croc. Woo woo

well, my uncle has an Okeetee cornsnake, which for some reason is very, very agressive. anyway, i was at his house with my two friends, melissa and brenden. anyway, i said i have picked it up before(which was true), so i said i could do it again. as i reached in to pick it up, she struck and hit my thumb. i bled a little, but it was really funnyand i was also laughing, along with them.

First time I brought my female V.albig out of her enclosure to show her off she sprayed feces on my leg, arm, the wall, and a leo tank but luckily missed the floor and ceiling.

When I had decided to get my first crocodilian (after much time and study and preperation) that Monday was to be the day, well as it turned out the day I had happened to go to the store that was selling them of course they were all out of them (figures)

so I phoned around and looked around and searched everywhere to find one no luck I was crushed because I was really looking forward to getting one that day.
soooooooooooooo anhooooooooooo a couple hours later I was going to buy a red tail boa off a guy that I know........ and low and behold in his house a little tiny baby caimen sitting there in a tank! I asked him if he was selling it he said, "yes" I bought him in a heartbeatnot to mention for than half the price I would get it for in the store, laughed like a little school girl in love for the rest of the day (several in fact) and the rest is history

I knew I was meant to be with him

So thats my story not sure if its one for the history books but it is a day Ill never forget
