Also, you may have been bitten numerous times in 5 years, but check this out. In 30 years...

I have been bitten by pythons maybe around 10 times, been bitten by monitors too many times to count, been bitten by boas about 3 or 4 times, been bitten by leopard geckos twice and have been bitten by pitbulls 0 times. I have had reptiles in my life for about 13 years and have been around pitbulls my whole life. Call it luck or whatever you want but people need to understnad that a dog has the capability to love as well as hate. Reptiles only learn to tolerate. I have seen people abuse dogs only to have the dog come to them when called, that is what I call loyalty. If you are capable of bonding with your animal then the chances of getting bit are much less.

AGAIN, I'm not saying that bites will never happen. Just a thought.
