Whoa look like people are getting bitten again. xD

I havent never been bitten by my little jackie. Apparently she almost did when i got her as baby. D; because she was nervous at first when i tried to handle her. ah. hee.
Now
You tell me :]

i have been bite over 5 times... most by the same gecko... lol, he is tamer now... (i hated cleaning his cage because he would bite me if i was near him...)

 

[Vegas_Eric]

I have been bitten one time. It was just this monday and I have pics up under general discussion. It still smarts as of today.

You should have made a 5+ option.

I've been nipped a lot, but never full on bitten.

2 times so far. I have kept leos for 8 years, had my first bite last year by a new comer (ok, maybe not so new, but he is the youngest amongst my other geckos); then last night was my 2nd bite (from my first gecko!).

 

[STUTFL]

Once, lightly - there's no "once" so I'll say "twice" since he clipped the edge of my finger going after a butterworm yesterday. :tongue3:

 

[ReptarNDukeNukem]

I've never been fully bitten but nipped when I was hand feeding a Crested.

 

[im faster]

mine are from holding my leos food when he was recovering from his eye problem never drew blood

 

[Taquiq]

[GrmReaper]

I have never been bit yet, still new only had Alfred for a month now. Does it hurt much when an adult bites?

 

[ElapidSVT]

uncountable times over the years

What do you call a bite? I've been nibbled numerous times by my male who I hand-feed because of his poor eyesight. Half the time, he misses his cricket and gently grabs my finger instead.

Actual real hard break-the-skin bite - 2 times. Once shortly after I got my first gecko and she wouldn't eat, so I tried to shove a worm into her mouth; and once by my male when I took him outdoors into the sunshine. He was blinded and scared and trying to run; I held onto him, he felt attacked, and defended himself. Bothe these geckos are generally calm and tame, and I totally deserved what I got from them!

I've been bitten countless times, but only because I feed by hand and sometimes they miss. I keep track of everything my animals eat.

Wow got me all nervous now. Haven't been chomped yet (knock on wood). Have gotten just a few teeth on tip of finger when I was hand feeding. Didn't break skin.

 

[Jheuloh]

3x.

Once by a corn snake I had been caring for, I woke it while it was at rest. Second and third time both by Khalil, both times because my hand behaved like food.

 

[Alusdra]

I've been bitten a bunch from my enigmas when I hand feed them... poor technique it seems! But besides that, only once from a feisty hatchling (didn't hurt) and once breaking up a male/male fight (broke the skin).

 

[Doubelminttwin]

Never but I probably just Jinxed myself

 

[T-ReXx]

By a leopard gecko? I dunno, I lost count after 50

By other species, many times as well. There are a few memorable ones though. I remember all my tokay bites, 12 times so far. Some of the worse ones were a tag by a 14foot retic, that sucked, 5 stitches. Another was a 5 foot iguana who grabbed my thumb, 3 stitches. And all time worst bite: 4 foot nile monitor, 14 stitches and a real bad infection plus countless long bloody scratches where he tried to eviscerate my arm. Kids, don't get a nile monitor, they love to fall asleep to the sound of screaming.
