I forgot to say, he was on my lap when he bit me, I always talk to him before putting my hand in his cage then I pet his back before trying to get him out.

: Hey now !! Wasn't one of the 1st things I told you not to feed him animal protein ??..;)~
: My guess is that if he's settled in a bit more now and feeling better he may start testing you a bit to see just how far he can push. Next thing you know there'll be Tuesday night poker games in his enclosure and female iggys knocking on your door....Either that or he was really ticked at you for being late with lunch....;)

: Dharma got me Christmas Eve. I reached in nice and slow as always so she would see me coming (nothing scarier than the "hand monster" coming out of nowhere) went to scratch her neck and the next thing I know I've got a scar of both upper and lower jaws just below my left thumb. I think that was about when I thought to ask about ig teeth...BTW, I don't really recommend this as a method of thought provocation....
: Short of seeing any headbobbing or anti-social behavior I think they're probably about as predictable as shark attacks...You MAY want to start reaching to pick him up with the back of your hand first so it's more difficult for him to latch onto anything if he tries it again..Maybe Harry's Dad or Sue2 will be able to expound on this further....LOL
: Definitely a nice move on your part in not letting go of him. You showed him who's boss...Now, do you have enough neosporin and bandaids ??? :)~
