Cliff, you can do that route, but!!! Tell you what, let one of our adult BDs bite down on you on you will NOT do it twice. Let an ig get a good lateral bite on a finger, you will not do it twice! An adult ig can sever fingers and tear through flesh like a gator, Cirsisue has scars on her feet to prove it.
To my way of thinking, tis far better to get the trust of the ig, and avoid bites, than it is out macho the ig by showing the bite does not hurt. We have dealt with many igs and I've been bitten twice, both by paniced iggies. To my way of thinking,if you are getting bitten, you are rushing intros or just a tyro.
