Here is the best I can do. I'll even throw in the one that bit me.
Hope this helps. If I get bit again this week I'll take a Pic and post it too. Lol

One is a bite from a half grown Peachthroat monitor that I sustained while in Florida. It probably should have had a couple of sutures because it was on the knuckle but I didn't bother. It did get infected and took a very long time to heal.

This one shows what a single Green iguana tooth can do.. this was a hand feeding accident. The tooth completely split the fingernail. I never did take photos of the single bite that did require sutures.
