it was a male goose and he did not like me going near any of the female geese. He would lower his head, hiss and snap on my leg.
Ash bit me this morning, trying to see if my hand was food. He grab it a few times, he even started to shake his head while biting down on to my finger. He stopped after about a minute or so and walked away.

Gah, my first bite? I've been bitten by so many critters, I wouldn't be able to remember. I remember a snake bite from when I was 7. I saw a group of boys across the street from me one night poking at something with sticks. I ran up and pushed two of the boys out of the way and grabbed the little baby gray rat snake they were trying to kill. The first thing it did was bite me knuckles repeatedly. I didn't flinch, but the boys freaked. lol!
actually not a bite, but first was me walkin through the redwoods as a young child digging through a pile of wood looking for reptiles, when a woodscorpion introduced my ring finger to his stinger. ouch, i cried like i was getting my leg sawed off by rope burn.

My first bite was from my posessed texas rat snake. He is angry at life or something. We have all the right heating, substrate and everything, but all he does is hide, eat food, and stare me down. My boyfriends burmese python is nicer than this guy. He's a pretty small rat right now still, barely 12 inches, maybe as thick as a fat ball point pen, very healthy since we demited him when we got him from petco. Then I went to Texas to visit my family and my uncle told me that they are just angry creatures.

It's might be genetics but it's also because he's very small and you're very big. He's terrified of you!!! We have a tiny corn snake that is possessed also!Oddball said:

LOL I was bitten by a copperhead as a child walking the creeks of Athens Al. . The creek went right behind the hospital. So me and my friends walked to it. It went in and told them what happened. They wanted to know what bit me. I told them a copper head. They asked me was I sure. We had caught it and put it in a jar. LOL The doctors asked how I caught it. I told him I grabbed it when it bit my leg. LOL It ended up being a dry bite and we let it go later. I been hooked ever since.
the fisrt time i was bit was by a baby sidewinder, when i was nine. I was out in the desert, I thought it was a hognose snake. I was in the hospital for 5 days and almost lost the end of my finger. it is still smaller on the end than the same finger on the other hand. 38 years later. after that you could not keep me away from reptiles native to arizona. mostly snakes. me and my brothers always had two or three snakes. we didn't have money to buy Snakes and lizards so we caught and raised wild ones.

My first bite was probably a ratsnake of some type or other. Ever since I was able to walk I've been turning over logs and stones(my parents learned early on to always have an extra set of clothes for me because come rain, hurricane, tornado or typhoon nothing was enough to deter me). I was always more of a snatch it first, identify it after kind of a kid and consider myself lucky I was never bitten by anything with medically significant venom.
ants we got the normal black ants and these like red brown ants in the uk my previouse job was drainage engineer any way i climbed in this drain and a load of these ants had made there home in the top corner as i was working large part of the nest fell on top of me and the ants had a right good munch i looked like i had nettle rash around my neck and down my back and thought my head was gonna explode for about four hours but that is the only thing that bit me oh appart from the reptile bug
if memory serves me correct i believe it was a green anole. i was a young kid catching them around my gramma and grampas house in Louisiana. when you consider i was sticking my hands through the bricks holding up the house you could say i was lucky it wasn't something else. =)
i've been herp keeping since i was 4 (19 now)
i was one of those little boys who loved dinosaurs and reptiles. my first bite was either a garter snake or a bullfrog not sure why i was dumb enough to bother a snake period but i was noted in my family and my moms friends of being "the small animal whisperer"
i'd catch everything with ease and go inside and show mom n dad then put it back (or catch lizards that would be in the shower for some reason)
