I got bitten for the first time today. But it was my own fault. I had our bearded dragon on the floor running around and I picked up our water dragon for a sec to check on his shedding and he jumped to the floor. The bearded dragon (Max) saw him and gave chase so I didnt want any injuries to the lizards and went to pick up Max rather quickly and he was in attack mode so he turned and bit my finger. So I put a towel over max and picked him up and put him in his cage. The cut was pretty deep but not too deep so I rinsed it off then dabbed it with antiseptic soap on a cotton swab (which stings a lot) and put 2 band aids on it. Then I went to see how both lizards were, all was fine and Max was back to himself sitting on my shoulder within a couple of minutes.
