Biting the hand that feeds...

Ouch!  Lacey tagged (bit) me for the first time tonight.  It was an easy mistake to make.  I had been feeding her and was putting her enclosure away and stuck my hand in to adjust the water bowl.  She was of course still in feeding mode and decided to pay my warm inviting looking finger a little visit.  I was only half surprised to be honest.  I had been feeding her, she was still on the prowl for food, what can I really expect.

I smiled more than anything.  My first ever snake bite!  It felt like the very tip of a couple of pins across a couple of my fingers.  She let go instantly and I am confident that there was no damage to her teeth which is great.  You can see from the photo how brave I am ;-p.  See the tiny little marks on my rude finger.

I fed Lacey a fuzzy mouse for the first time tonight.  It is the next size up from a pinky.  It only weighed slightly more and she downed it easily.  In fact, she ate it whilst hanging upside down from one of her perches.  I think from next week I will have to give her two, as by weight, one is less than I have been feeding her in pinkies.  She was definitely ready for more too!  She is such a great pet.  Still loving every minute of having her in our home.
