My Leo bit me...
It was my fault, I was feeding him roaches, and the roach was on my finger at the time, little booger was fast had my finger so quick I never saw it coming.

Re: My Leo bit me...

Re: My Leo bit me...
The bite was only a split second, but I do have a nice feeding shot...

Re: My Leo bit me...
Oh well at least he is getting some high protein from said finger right? Sure it was a clean removal and in time you will learn to live with 4 digits.

Re: My Leo bit me...
Wish i had the camera this morning - fed our Spiny Tail some adult locusts and at one point he had his mouth closed but three legs stuck out each side of his mouth - was soo funny but by time i got the camera they had gone

Lizards often crush food by biting down on it.
I think they have stronger "clamp down" muscles.
I have never been bit by chomper, but I have seen him crush rat skulls in one crunch by biting down.

Re: My Leo bit me...
Our spiny bites quite a lot but his teeth are tiny tiny tiny and have never broken the skin - very strong jaws tho you can almost pick him up when he bites onto a finger. Frilled lizards have bigger teeth but ours seem less inclined to bite - jsut frill and hiss!!

Re: My Leo bit me...
When I flinched and pulled my hand back, Leo went for a ride! I felt aweful, had to make sure I didn't hurt my gecko!!
Us herp people must be nutters, no one would ever let "other" pets chew on them for fear of hurting our pets.

Was Leo okay after his free thrill ride? Agreed, we are bonkers....in a good way! (IMHO)

Double OUCH! I couldn't imagine getting tagged by a Sav...some have gone as far to say that I enjoy pain, but I cringe thinking about one of those majestic beasts nailing a finger!
All the more reason to respect our beloved animals!

Re: My Leo bit me...
My little gecko faired out just fine, he went right back to chowing on his roaches within moments.
