Do sharp-toothed lizards bite? If you don't think so, I would like to see you stick a finger into my smaller male's mouth. My other tortoise's bite took the skin off my finger a few years ago. She takes mostly everything from me gingerly in small bites now, but I think it's because she doesn't want to taste blood again. She still wolfs down bigger pieces.
