......that you had that kind of painful reaction to a "feeding response" bite, given that Heloderma don't normally use their venom for anything but defense. Just imagine what it might have been like if the lizard had been out sunning when approached, immediately going into the defensive mode and releasing venom, then grabbing hold like a tenacious Pit Bull with only one thing on it's primitive little mind... SURVIVAL!!! Welcome to the "Fires of Hell"... (LOL)
