I've just had my top lip nipped by my Beardie!! How I could have been so stupid, I don't know. She was trying to cuddle into my neck, as she does, but was getting tangled in my hair. As I pulled her out of my hair, snap...she bit my lip Shocked

She wasn't in a bad mood or anything, and had already been fed, so not sure why it happened, other than I made her grumpy, because I moved her.

I've had ice on it for the last half an hour, and although it's only a little cut, it's stinging like hell Sad

I was determined it wouldn't swell up, as I'd have a difficult job convincing my work colleagues tomorrow, that my partner hadn't thumped me!!!

Anyone else been bitten in a strange place?? Or am I the only daft one here Confused

Oh no, poor you!

A while back Colin was trying to get Greedo(our iggy) from on top of her viv, when she ran at him and bit him in the armpit! He had a red, bruised iguana jaw-imprint there for days!

I've been millimeters from a lovely big bite on my jaw from a baby Cuban Boa... How glad was I that his aim was off?!

My face was about an inch away from a 5ft common boa's open jaws once. I reckon it could have bit my nose if it was a cm closer. Makes ya flinch a little.

Not the kind of love bite I like Laughing

Someone I work with (think he posts here sometimes so I won't embarrass him by telling you his name!) was holding a baby leopard gecko for someone else to treat a small wound on its belly. It was close to his face and started opening its mouth and squeaking, as they do...
He said "go on then, I dare you", as boys tend to... and, well, it did...

He had a great bite mark on the end of his nose for a couple of days!

I'm not the only one then!!! Don't feel quite so daft now for letting it happen Smile

Fraser - I'm so glad it was my lip and not my nipple that got it Laughing

That must have made your eyes water!!
