when beardys attack...

[TLSlusher]

I learned the hard way not to wear dark colored nail polish. That's when I get the crazy-eyed beardy look like "OH OH I'M GONNA EAT THAT!" Usually they're slow enough to get out of harms way but occasionally Potato will nip my fingernail.. little boogers!

Personally i'd be more worried about being scratched by their nails then being bit. The twins both bit me at 1 time or another and so did Nemo, didn't much hurt but if they got in a tizzy and clawed me...well I still have scars from that and I'm allergic to scratches for some odd reason, cat, rat, dragon, it all makes me sicky and I have to put jack daniels on it to reduce the inflammation and pain.

Do you apply that Jack topically or take it internally? lol A little of both, I hope!

I've only been bitten when mistaken for food. It was surprising more than painful, although they can pack quite a pinch if they set a mind to.
But I agree about not backing off. Just coo at him and tell him what a big, scary lizard he is and pick him up anyway, without hesitation or fear. By the time he is old enough to bite hard, he'll be totally over it.

:lol: To me whiskey is an external remedy only. It makes me mean as a rattle snake and twice as likely to bite.
