    Yep! Its the adults that really need to be watched. They are the ones who will put the hurt on you. A Pyxi is a whole other ball game. Both Pyxi frogs and Ceratophrys have upper jaw teeth(Pyxi teeth being much larger in all aspects) lower jaw teeth called odontoids(tusk like boney projections in the center of the lower jaw) and they even have fangs in the roof of their mouths. This all sounds scary, but if you are careful you will have no worries.

    Just keep in mind that sooner or later you may be bitten. Its a realization that become all to familiar after a while Lol!

    Snakes are also a whole different aspect though.

    My garters have anticoagulent properties in their saliva, so even a harmless bite you can't even feel looks awful. I left my hand in my biggest girl's tank dangling food once, didn't even feel her bite, and turned around to see blood dripping down over her face and half my hand.
    After I washed it off, I couldn't even see the place where she'd bitten. lol

    I agree with grif and Cwcuz2112, i would rather be bitten by a snake, they do look bad but rarely hurt that much.
