My Ackie, roughly 6months old has been shedding - yesterday I placed him in a tub with luke warm water and some paper towel as I generally do once a week. It helped him shed quite a large amount from his tail which is the only old skin left...
This morning I noticed that about an inch up from his tail looked quite restricted so he is back in the tub at the moment soaking and I will be removing as much as I can by hand shortly...
...yesterday whilst I was transporting the little fella to his tub I was telling my missus about the Ackie at the MacHerps meeting on Friday that latched on to Troy's watch and wouldn't let go. Almost on cue the little bugger bit on the thumb!! He didn't really get any skin in his jaws just managed a TINY little scratch...
...anyway this morning I grabbed him to go back in his bath and BANG, two more bites on the thumb!! Luckily he is still quite small so only manages a quick pinch and a small scratch - I would post pictures but it is almost invisible to the naked eye, so wouldn't show much on a camera...
Anyhoo, just thought I would share and see if anyone else had stories of being bitten by Ackies - even better, some pictures. Any Monitor bite stories would be appreciated though!
