I guess it was bound to happen sooner or later

Just got my first bloody bite today, and it was from our very first hatchling ever, no less! He is the sweetest thing, but I apparently really startled him. I went to feed him a super worm, which he ate, and then I just wanted to pick him up and hold him for awhile. He freaked out when I went to pick him up, which has never happened before. He got a hold of my pinky and bit pretty darn hard. He's sitting in my lap right now, right as rain :main_rolleyes:

Ouchy. That last picture looks like he wants to bit you again

 

[Jenn]

ouch, hope it heals fast. He looks so proud of himself lol.

Ow! The only gecko to have bitten me and draw blood was a banana gecko. I've been popped a few times by leos but never have they held on and drawn blood. Sometimes I think they must think that our hands are really very creepy looking mouths.

Ouch Jess! That really looks like it hurts! Both sides too! =/
And don't ya love how they turn into lovebugs right afterwards?! lol.
It's like "Awww.. Mom.. Jeez. I'm really sorry." :3

 

[LizMarie]

His face says sorry but his eyes say mess with me again and you will feel my rath, Lol!

 

[hoppslover]

[amanda_ols]

[Sturt]

Ouch, how old was the hatchling that did that?

 

[LeapinLizards]

Aw Jess! What a little punk. I got nipped last night by one of mine too...my big fat LadyBug. I think she was telling me "ok, I'm tired of this diet crap!' lol

Ouch, how old was the hatchling that did that?

I am pretty sure it was the one pictured before the 'battle wounds'...She said that it was her first hatchling, not a hatchling

 

[robbiep23]

Geckos bite when you least expect it.....(Art Linkletter)

but they can make you bleed big time, especially if you kiss them.
Sorry JB.......Treat the bite seriously
