Kali tried to EAT me! [:0] To be fair, it was my fault...I cleaned out the geckos before I got her out (but DID use soap and wash thoroughly). Plus she is getting ready to breed so is eating like a mad thing anyway, and I may have had her in her feeding tub so that I could clean out her viv. [:I] She has bitten me many many times in the past, always a feeding response and she normally lets go when she realises I am 1. Not a mouse and 2. Way too big for her to eat. [8)] This time, she happened to grab my finger and rather than letting go, started moving her mouth around to the tip to start eating it! I tried to pull her off and she started coiling around me like I was a mouse and doing that side to side jaw thing. Feels really bizarre and really quite painful on a finger tip as you can feel all the teeth. [:0] So I dashed to the bathroom and stuck her head under a tap - she let go pretty quick then! So what I'm thinking right now isn't 'well, I shouldn't have done that' it is [b]'I should have got a photograph of it for the forum!'[/b] [:D][:p] [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature.
