So silly me went from playing with my cats to playing with Fason. He started flicking my hands wildly and took a nibble on my finger!! haha although it didn't hurt I could definetly feel the power he is going to have once he's older. I waited a couple of hours then let Fason and the cats check eachother out. No problems what so ever. Hopefully he will come to know their scent doesn't mean food!

Enjoy it while you can, an adult's nibble will do a little more damage. :lol: :lol: :lol:

I have only been bitten by an 20" columbian, but I sure as heck don't want to get bitten by my 40+" girl!

lol you guys are masochistic :twisted: I saw it coming but let it happen so I guess I am in the same lol. He's only 11 inches so it wasn't bad at all.

I got bit in the face it was no joke..

holy crap I bet dude. I can't help but giggle a lil. Rolexx's jaw line in your avatar looks pretty mean tho! I'd be avoiding that for sure.

I have never been bit on the bare skin by an adult, but sure would not want to be bit in the face, that would be bad.

I got bit on the ear by our female Blue tegu. I was very sweaty and they seem to like my sweaty scent. She flicked back and forth between both ears and finally CHOMPED the right one!

Nope, Eragon. She left little holes in both sides including inside the ear. It didn't hurt much. She held on for about 5 seconds. I pulled her away and she gave me a "Did I do that??" look.

She prob thought it was a nice plump pinkie, she could not resist a test bite.
