    first time to be featured at the AnD party. I'm happy to bring a couple of my cold-blooded friends to the Wild Safari party tomorrow night @m1nt.  I'll choose the deaf ones and will do in a non-smokey area so my friends will feel comfortable.

    If you are joining and would like to touch/handle my friends, please be sure you don't carry any smell of meat on your hands - they are meat-lovers!! :)

    cheers

  • 2009 is a year of bites

    17 Feb 2009

    I can't remember how many times i've got bitten in 2009.. In my career, probably, reptile bites appear to be kinda typical for me but right now it seems a lil bit too much. it's just the second month of 2009 but have already been bitten for times. Every single time i see droplets of blood. Snakes, lizards, even a domestic cat rewarded me a nasty bite when i was catching him...

    Just recovered from a venomous bite in Jan for a while. Last week I got bitten again by a monitor lizard in a presentation in front of 800 people..

    When i was holding the monitor by my left hand, my right hand was near and got bitten in the finger. I thought it's just a minor quick bite so I went on by holding the lizard by my left hand. I was just feeling a little wet but everyone's eyesight was on my right hand. I looked at it and yea my entire palm was full of blood. I covered it by the tissue paper given but it got saturated in a couple seconds and the blood was dropping on the floor. I grabbed the paper hard to make it look better and went on by left hand until the presentation's done.

    Then i got treated by a nurse. She put on cotton wool and freezed it with ice bags for 5 minutes, but it was still bleeding largely. She said i need stitches but i said i had to go to next appointment. Bleeding stopped after 18 hours.

    That's not a big bite, and I feel ok, it just looked like it's very bad but actually it doesn't hurt too much. Chinese fortune tellers said i will lose a large sum of money this year and actions to lose some blood like to donate blood will help. I ain't a believer but, oh well, it makes the accident positive. Whatever :) Anyways i'm fine with all the bites so far. Thanks for everyone who cared. Hopefully the next one won't be a croc bite.


    Continued..

    As per request, here you see the wound after 2 days. Actually he bit me twice. He gave the first bite (nip) quickly and then let go. but I think I unconsciously let him do it once again. The second bite he did not let go and swung hard for a couple seconds. Probably I naturally wanted to be bitten... so that I can show people a lizard will REALLY give a bite when it feels the need to protect itself. We can't always show people the good side without another.
