Training and Safety  
    
 		 Whenever training the first thing you should start with is safety inside a plan to train you reptile.  Training provides your reptile with enrichment that will usually reduce aggression.  However, there are risks with some of the dangerous reptiles such as the large pythons and boas, crocodilians, varanids, and venomous snakes.  Some may say softshells or sea turtles may be dangerous or at least the bite of one. 
      Reptile training is safety.  Most of the training that you will see posted on this website was designed to avoid accidents.  The training can be from small bearded dragons to huge salt water crocodiles.  The training is the same, but the animals are different and can potentially give you lethal injuries instead of superficial wounds.  On this page safety precautions that have been used and are currently being used by professionals will be listed and the subject of during an incident will be posted as well.  I am currently looking for procedures on helping a person out of a bad situation.  There are many scenarios.  This page will also analyze the scenarios and share with viewers. 
      We will group reptiles into three types of Safety factors.

Group I are reptiles that can potentially cause injury of a superficial status not requiring medical assistance. 
Results of injuries are limited to superficial scratches, pressure wounds, abrasions, some bruising, bites not breaking skin. 
General First Aid required

Group II are reptiles that can cause serious wounds and may require medical assistance.
Results of injuries are lacerations, heavy bruising, multiple abrasions with heavy bruising, foreign objects (teeth and claws) left in wounds, fractures,  possible infection and disease.
General First Aid required, Medical Assistance, Special medical assistance for animal inflicted injuries and special antibiotics.

Group III are reptiles that can cause loss of  limb, permanent disability or death. 
Results of injuries are serious multiple lacerations, fractures, blindness, loss of limb or limbs, paralysis, organ failure, deformity,  infections, disease, or death/digestion.
General First Aid to sustain until Medical Assistance arrives, Emergency medicine including Trauma treatment.
