Pinky toe then, I doubt you put that up your nose. I have gorilla nostrils so I can probably use my thumb if I wanted. Anyways in all seriousness just get something edible with the same consistency as human flesh/bone and see what happens. Any suggestions?

Re: Littlefoot & Cera (New video & pictures) 2013!

I`ve been bitten by my 7.5 feet Ornate monitor on my foot, if I hadn`t been wearing leather shoes I`m pretty sure he would have broken a toe or two. I doubt even a fullgrown Savannah monitor would be capable of doing that to an adult person, but I think they may be capable of breaking a child`s finger.
If I had one (a Sav monitor) I would gladly try it for you all, but unfortunately I don`t at this moment in time. (Sorry)....

I have seen Littlefoot and Cera actually pull a rat in half while feeding, so these critters are capable of hurting us if they really wanted to.

How old is your child and what would you have to pay them to test this theory?

so far I always see them swollow the whole item without chewing or even killing. Crickets often come out of the mouth fully intact haha.

I think a sav could crush fingers. If the bite itself doesn't do it, the aggressive head movements will.

Kayla's big sav grabbed my big toe and did a big head shake thing, took him about a minute to let go... Brutal pain, long twisted gashes, loads of bruising all the way up my foot... We were feeding him and a roach ran between my toes lol.

Wouldn't want that to happen again.

Ouch lizard bites are hectic. Even the vegetarian ones loll. I remember laying on my bed while my male iguana was out for a bit. Here's how unpredictable males can be. He stopped looked at me , bobbed his head abit , stood up real tall and charged. He jumped the bed and grabbed on to my arm, just above my elbow. I know their jaw pressure isn't the strongest but their teeth are like razor blades. Bit right through my skin, to the point where air was trapped under it. Probably should have got stitches but I wrapped it up, disinfected and waited for it to heal. Still have a small scar but boy was that scary.. The speed of an adult iguana running at you full force.

A well heated monitor is just as fast, if not faster. I have seen it.

They crush up and chew full grown snail shells like they were pretzel nuggets.

Hi Wayne, not only as fast or faster, but much more powerful "pound for pound" and far more stamina!
