Vambo got a bit confused trying to find the start point of a black headed rat. He took it by the scruff of the neck and worked his way down to the bum end but gave up on that as a bad idea. After a bit of snuffling he got a bit frustrated at not finding the head and lined up to take a chunk out of his own side. EEK! NOOO!
I managed to deter this attempt at self cannibalism but ended up wearing a set of python-cuffs ... around both wrists. Jeezoh! is he getting to be a strong lad. BTW, the rat was also still somewhere in the middle of the stramash.
It ended up with him deciding that my knuckle looked pretty rattish and was having it. Switch to slow motion bite sequence, just like they do in all the best horror movies. 
Those teeth are not designed for any direction except in and down. I managed to wriggle two fingers free and get hold of a ball point pen and use it to first (very gently) unlatch the bottom jaws and rotate my finger in ways that it was not intended to free it from the top set. After that it was a case of waiting until he re-discovered the rat and loosened his grip enough for me to unwrap and escape.
The amazing fact is that his strangle hold on my wrists acted as a touniquet and stopped me bleeding to death. 
The victim and the accused.
Mortal wound
Prime suspect. The deadly long necked crocagator washing away the forensic evidence.
After major reconstruction surgery, the head surgeon says it's touch and go, the next 24 hours will be critical.
As you can see, the damage was minor. I've had worse bite from Mirkey & Big T but I know there are ghouls lurking around here.  |

Your sympathy and concern for Vambo's wellbeing is appreciated. 
Chris, I have the blood of the Brahan Seer in my veins and have the gift of prophecy. Lottery numbers shortly.
In this case it was either a bite on his side or my hand, the hand lost.
All part of the fun and not unexpected but no more black headed rats.  |

I think they did a good job, you can hardly see the join.
If I don't pull through, I've left instructions that I'm to be pickled and displayed as a warning not to accept black headed rats. |

I'm just glad they managed to put my finger back on the right way round. My guitar playing is bad enough as it is.
Spreebok, Salmonella is the least of your problems. Panic when you start sprouting feathers in unusual places. 
Mick, you know the rules. A&E admission report or it doesn't count.
SB, your concern is duly noted.
After all the trauma, I now have a shiny blue belly thing. |

I don't know what you're talking about! Mind you, do you have any grain, I'm feeling peckish! |
