In Reply to: New thread...Let's try some fun stories..Dry bite experience posted by Carl on July 17, 2002 at 10:37:02:

great stories!! FA, you are a man after my own heart...At least you give your Dry's the "Good Stuff" too!!
One central theme seems to be the bite with the accompaning twisting motion to inflict further pain and damage...Sounds like the are using their usual feeding technique and if we only weighed 10 or 15 lbs, we'd have all been thrashed against the walls and swallowed
Not too many bite and goodbye's in here!!
Keep 'em coming!! Carl

: Let's hear some fun stories on Dry bites..I know Dean has some!!
: Here's one....Bubba, my big Tx Male...Last year was giving him Baytril injections for ocular infection..NEVER been bitten by any DRY, including those I've caught in the wild..Anyway, I'm holding him about 6" behind the head, my wife is giving him the injection(she's a nurse) As soon as the needle goes in, he turns around on my thumb, not a strike, just opens and CLAMPS, felt like friggin' PLIERS!! Does not let go until the needle is removed..Almost bit thru my fingernail..Carried marks for a month! Powerful as we think, maybe more...Smart, too...
: Let's hear from some other guys..Fred?? DT? Dwight??
