Oh yeah, crocs are nasty to get bit by.

Don't click if you're afraid of blood.....

Scroll down a little to see what these creatures are capable of. To be honest I don't feel all that safe around any lizard much bigger than a tegu. Even a "tame" animal can bite.

Viscious pics man. Wut was the first person trying to do put his head in its mouth??

Thanks, they're not mine though. The first person was just doing some regular maintenance, it was a quick feeding response bite that did that. The potential is scary.

Haha you gave me a hard one....

Looks teiid like, not just a hard-core predator. Rounded teeth. :idea:

I'll guess Caiman lizard? Whiptails or ameivas don't have teeth like that....

Am I right? :p

You are 110% correct!! The teeth are made for crushing thier food, they feed just about on nothing else but snails. :)
