best advice be calm and slow and dont grab them let them climb you!

Yes i do and after 18 yrs handling even inland tais, eb, and deathys and ive never been bitten.
Yep thats right i am admitting that i have not been bitten even though i know ive now gone down a few rungs on the ladder as you guys think getting bitten is cool and an initiation but i like my fingers the way they are. The nose thing works, how do they know right from wrong in wild, if it hurts or scares its bad, im not saying hit them hard just a flick that they can associate with right and wrong.

I find sitting them in the naughty corner for 4 mins works best.
They have time to reflect on their misdeeds and then we have a discussion as to why it happened and THEN they can go play. :rolleyes:
 
also if you face palm after being bitten :facepalm::facepalm: they see your disappointment in them and re-consider next time.
 
Just open the door and let them decide. Once in exit mode they are easy.
