New little axolotls

No, I do it to. When I was working at the pet store, I'd get some of the reptiles to bite me to show people it didn't really hurt. You shoulda head some of the squeals I got from people watching me get bit by the tiniest little snakes, or even green anoles! My favourite by far though, was when I was scrubbing some algae off of fish tanks. I moved to the next tank in line, which happened to house a pair of pirhana. I just got my hand in side, when a woman who was browsing yanked me out of the tank by the shoulders screaming "Oh my god, what are you doing! Thats a pirhana! It'll eat the flesh off your hand!" I was really pissed at her at first, but then laughed my butt off. After I got over it, I chased the two fish around the tank with my hand, and told about what absolute wussies pirhana are when there aren't a couple hundred of them during breeding season. I don't know what shocked her more: when I put my hand in that tank, or the fact that she was wrong.

I would love to have a piranha. Unfortunately, I would have to move countries.
 
a few weeks ago one of the buildings and grounds guys was in our lab fixing something and he asked me if the cories were piranhas! i almost (internally) peed my pants laughing!
 
Just re-reading these posts and this jumped out at me, Brian - "I've been bitten, scratched, whipped, and squeezed"

Lol, ain't you the lucky one!!
