Ouch, he got me.....

Well Ash thought my palm was food and bit me today!!

He got me in the meaty part of my hand, right where the thumb meets the palm.

I was getting him out to feed him when he bit and started to shake his head. He released right when he started to shake. I am not sure if he realized this was not food or what, but it left some nice cuts (nothing bad)

I'll survive

Ouch! Was he in a hide or under substrate or just hangin out??

LOL Scared you a little didn't it. I hate when it happens. Even the tamest ones will sometimes bite. LOL

LOL, it hurt for a few seconds and I got use to the pain. He was just basking by his light and I put my arm in the enclosure. I did my normal routine and I guess he was just in the mood to bite

He pooped after eating the day before and went again about an hour before he ate today. Perhaps he was a bit more hungry today

I had a talk with him afterwards, so hopefully it will not happen again :roll:
