but it was by one of my female bci. I've had her 4 years and never so much as a hiss. She's gravid so I don't take it personally...but man, she drew some blood....

by my female BRB...she's got me 3 times now in 1 1/2 years, not too bad. I was putting her back in her cage and wham, it felt like she missed, or at best grazed me, but after I put her in I looked at my arm and sure enough, 3 or 4 nice little pin pricks oozing blood. The other two times there was definite PAIN from those teeth, but not this time. Could have been worse I suppose. Sometimes it seems she just is a little tempermental, other times a complete sweety.

I work at a pet store and we had imported a 6 foot female BRB. She has the worst attitude! Well i guess if I was just grabbed from my home I would too She got me right on the fleshy part of my palm under the my thumb and it killed! I've been nailed by an 8 foot burm and it didn't hurt as bad as getting hit by the brb! She then about 2 days later caught a co-worker and broke one of her teeth in him. That was a mess. Gotta love 'em!
