Default Caiman Bite (graphic attachments)
I have the pleasure of working part time with various reptiles including crocodilians, one being a 5 foot caiman.
Yesterday, I cleaned his enclosure, moving him to a bin for storage. After cleaning, I opened the bin and moved him back into his enclosure.
All went well, up to this point. He was docile and calm.
I made the mistake of turning my back as I left and he immediately grabbed my left hand, damaging my thumb and middle finger as seen below.
I have made the pictures attachments as they are graphic.

My thumb: :eek:



My middle finger: :eek:



The end result was 5 stitches to my thumb and 3 stitches to my middle finger as well as a loss of the nail. (his teeth split the nail right down the middle)
I have worked with this guy for a while and it just proves that you can never get too comfortable around reptiles at any time


thought you all would enjoy

I thought it was going to be an annoying person saying they are Lizards but he atleast he mentioned Crocodilians in his post.
