Re: monitor bites ?
I normally do research on my reptiles enforce buying them/ handling them. I.e temperament, how bad is the bite and especially if its venomous. I would rather find out before I got bit. Lol

Re: monitor bites ?
Wow, looking at that picture, your monitor was latched right on tight.
Ouch!

Re: monitor bites ?
The jaws on a monitor are some nasty ones, the long lasting pain is most likely due to the bruising around the bite rather than just the bite itself. In my opinion.

Re: monitor bites ?
/cracks knuckles/
oh hey- i have first hand experience here.
*pain- lots of it, depending on how deep depends on the sensation
*swelling- depending on what level of tissue he got through will greatly depend on the swelling.
*bleeding- you may or may not bleed on and off in the coming days
KEEP IT CLEAN, i cannot stress this, wash it more than 3 times a day- soap and water. Keep it covered with a bandage that has antibiotic ointment. It will be sore and it will hurt but you shouldnt have any issues unless infection hits.

Re: monitor bites ?
It's venomous, but not really enough to cause much harm to a human. People have gotten sick from a few species, but I've never heard of it from a water monitor.
