I was moving one of my girls into her new enclosure and went to move the newspaper off her and she grabbed my finger tip. This was cool, but then she started eating me! She got down the full top joint and was halfway up to the next joint before I got her off. She can hold her breath under water for ages and still eat. She ate 2 rats last nite and is now a certified guts!
I havent had any bites that have ever really concerned me but this was something else.
Being tagged on the fingertip lead her to beleive she was onto a small animal that she could fit down her throat , now what would happen if I didn't get her off and she got right to the end of my finger? Do they spew you back out? She's over five foot and pretty strong and determined to eat so in this situation I was wondering if i should let her get to the end of the finger and then wait till she realises she cant eat me or not. It was hard work getting her off and i seriously hope I havent injured her jaw.
Anyone been down to the end where the finger meets the hand?

I dont really know if it works, as i have never been held durring a bite......yet |

When i get bitten i just blow into their mouth and they let go pretty quick. Worked a treat a feew weeks ago when my bredli jumped out from under the paper when i was changing her water and she gave me a lip piercing  | |
