We had a massive storm here today - not sure if that stirred him up or what. Loki has never bitten since he was a hatchling. he's a pain in the ass but up until today I've trusted him completely. I took him out of his cage and was petting him / gently helping with a stuck shed. He wasn't huffing and seemed fairly calm with no particular signs of stress.
My husband started talking to me and I looked away. next thing I knew Loki grabbed my forearm and would not let go. He continued to chomp down for about 15 - 20 seconds. I did my best to not jerk my arm away and make it worse - hurts like hell, puncture wounds and a ton of swelling. Just glad he didn't thrash.
Not sure what brought this on exactly, perhaps this is the terrible ones, maybe the storm. Either way I'm more upset about not being able to trust him anymore than the actual bite. Up until today I had no reservations having other people pet him but it will be a long time, if ever, before that happens again.
