welcome to the world of herping shamous jnr. It won't be the last time and the other kids will think your war wounds are cool.
Though i have a female diamond 5-6ft adult that loves giving love bites and hanging on too.
So it doesn't matter how old you get at some stage they'll give ya a nip to test ya reflexes.
I've got some good bite pic's i'll have to post for ya later on
