I work at a herp store, so ive been bit by a lot of stuff the most painful by far is when a 5 foot boa got me on the hand, bled like crazy to. the second is when a rhino iguana nipped me while i was hand feeding her, it was unintentional on her part but still hurt real bad. i mostly have been bitten by new arrivals that i just have to hold . my personal pets that have bitten me are,
boas
corn
blue toung skink
anoles

[Nicky]

I have no real war stories, just my ball got me once while feeding her, barely drew blood but was enough to convinve my mom that those $10 bbq tongs I wanted to buy were worth it lol, and a wild garter I caught a few summers ago was chewing on me but nothing special.

Got bitten by a baby W. Hognose snake, but she didn't break the skin nor leave a mark, no reaction to the bite either. A couple of nips from a corn snake, again nothing to show for it.
A bit worse bite was by a male leopard gecko (long story to that one, he wasn't a mean sucker like it would appear).



The worst of all was getting bit by the Herp Bug.... lost my life, my freedom and all empty rooms and spaces in my house to that one

Just a Florida King and a Fat Tail Gecko here...no blood involved.

[Lrptls]

green basilisk, brown water snake, black rat snakes, yellow anaconda, savannah monitor, king snakes, maybe a few other things i can't remember at the time. the only time i bled was from the monitor and the water snake. the water snake was the worse bite-it made me sick and i got a tetinis shot.

[snakehunter]

Just about every nonvenomous snake species in the state of VA, ranging from nips to severe lacerations. Some Cynops Orientalis bites, house gecko and anole biites, TOO MANY TO NAME REALLY

[beanersmysav]

Just Crested Gecko (nothing major), Corn snake (nothing major), but that's it. I'm starting to really get into snakes though so I'm sure that list might increase they are harder to dodge I'm sure than lizards. I have no issue with being faster than any lizard who has ever tried to bite me but so far I'm 1-3 trying to avoid a snake

[Removed_2815]

In captivity?
Just a Rosy Boa - I've managed to avoid the bites of all of my other animals in the last 10 or so years:


In the wild?
Just about every native herptile in Ontario and Eastern USA!

hmmm

Baby Kenyan Sand Boa- pricks of blood
Leopard gecko- slight mark
Baby Jungle Jaya- pricks of blood
Veiled Chameleon- slight mark
Been struck at many times but those are the ones that made contact. Not bad when I think about how many herps I've worked with.
