Hey guys my lil bugger is 6 months approx now..and he's done some weird stuff latley..
About 1 month or more ago..after I fed him I gently picked him up to put him back in the enclosure...he turned and bit himself right where the mouse was inside of him..almost like he had an itch..i shat and quiclkly put him back ..
2 weeks ago...i took him out and def him as I do...on a stick that I have placed..(this is usually how I feed him) after he ate..i was trying to get him off gently...he got a real tight grip of my hand/fingers...made me think ok this is weird..then his head is lookin down at my finger im thinking its ok lil guy and BAM he opens his mouth I dunno if he opened slow or if I realised quick that he was going to ****g try eat my finger i pulled away I got very scared or just shocked I dunno normally this lil fella u can hold him till the cows come home give him kiss's everything friendly as..i pretty much dropped him..then was very hard to get him back in as I was a lil shaken up but eventually got him back in the enclosure..bad experience for us both. 1 Mistake I made here is I think im not 100% sure if I had washed my hands after handeling the container mouse in the glad wrap prior to feeding him :S so this i 'hope' is the cause...the last container of mice i got fkign stink real bad and I think this is the problem.
Anyway..last week when i fed him..he was way alert...like looking at me lijke he wanted to charge at me through the glass so I thought fk that I just dropped a mouse in which he grabbed and dragged back into his rock...
Now this is where I try get some balls and start to handle him again..i get him out take him outside for some vitamin E he starts gripping me tight im like 'oh no' as I quickly go to place him on the grass I cant be 100% sure but i think he went to eat my finger again :S?
I dunno..but its kinda like these new mice ive given him..this batch are like dirty wild ones n its changed him....made him feral..to the point where I would let my kids hold him np b4..but now i simply couldnt cos I think they might get bitten....but its not like hes just trying to bite..thast wouldnt be so bad...its he is going for the big open mouth swallow :S
The only thing i can think of doing is getting some gloves for when i handle him..and I need to keep handeling him to keep him friendly and tame I know but atm...even tho hes tiny...47cm im getting a lil scared?? any help is appreciated.
