Gross bug stories

[asongforyou]

I was feeding Ellie a wax worm today and when she bit down the juice squirted on my face! OMG so gross. It's like I saw it in slow motion but I couldn't react fast enough.

I'm sure I'm not the only one with gross bug stories so share with me!

Well it's not as gross as that as I didn't get anything on me, but when i fed simba a fruit beetle grub the other day, it burst when he bit down on it!

Any goo that wasn't all over the glass was down the side of Simba's face!!! ICK!!

Not that it happened to me, but to my husband, we had to make bug juice to give through a syringe for Picasso, well the first time he tried to feed him the juice would not come out, so while looking at the opening in the bottom of the syringe he pushed really hard and it just exploded in is face, bug juice in the mouth, eyes and ears, very funny, but not to him.

I did the same thing except with a huge hornworm. Right in the face. All I can say is, you're lucky it was just a waxworm. Lol.

Well, this wasn't to do with a cham, but when I was 9 or 10 the neighbor boy put worms in my hair and down my back. I can't stand them to this day lol.

When Kuzco was a baby he was fighting with a horn worm and ripped it off the leaf squirting me with bug juice

Bella did the same thing but ripped its head off and Jared got juiced lol.

I had a party in my house a couple of months ago.. and we decided to eat bugs for a dare. I ate a wax worm and a meal worm.. that was my limit. But my mate Tristan ate everything! Apart from those he had a silk, a cricket, a huge locust and a fruit beetle grub.. I nearly puked

My husband never had any incidents but I'm sure I'll never hear the end of it if it does ever happen to him.

I have had worm juices squirted in both my mouth and my eyes before. The worst part is, it was a hornworm that squirted into my mouth, so there was a TON of juice. (I don't remember it tasting like anything though, so at least it wasn't as bad as it could have been!) After that, I always keep my mouth completely closed when I feed the chameleons! Now that I have glasses, any flying juices no longer get into my eyes.

I've got two stories ( but some of you may remember hearing them before, sorry).

My big melleri liked to toast herself on a houseplant in a west facing window right next to the front door. I had just given her a couple of hornworms and forgot about her. A realtor/friend/neighbor was due to come by and I hoped to introduce them (she was a pretty friendly cham and gorgeous). Anyway, realtor showed up with assistant and I proudly pointed to the beautiful striped cham on her plant. Instead of the usual "oh how beautiful!" the two women sort of gagged and backed away. I looked at my beloved green girl...who happened to have a long string of half dried hornworm guts hanging off her chin.

This same melleri choked on too much water following a hand fed snack of superworms injected with medication. I heard her gasping and ran in to see her turn a bizarre white and orange color, waiving her front paws gaping and hacking. She fell off her tree and eventually seemed to stop breathing. I grabbed her and started a sort of CPR. Pried her mouth open and tried to breathe for her. She coughed up a mass of worms into my mouth and clamped down on my lip. She survived, I ran for the mouthwash, and have a little scar on my lip to remind me.
