Did not even feel it. This is not the first time. This guy, a Cal. King and one of my hognose have bad "aim". They don't strike at their food. They craw with their mouth wide open. I'll try to get more photo's of it at the next feeding.

Ha, My cal king did the EXACT same thing last night- out of a 6 qt plastic tub and everything. And I had the camera sitting there- but didnt think to take a pic until after I pried his mouth off.

Oh, I've seen Deejay in a frantic feeding mood go after the glass, the plants, my finger, and even a dishcloth! (I had her out on the kitchen counter at the time.) It's quite funny to watch them go at it.:D

This may be a little out of context, but seems the place to put it.

Chompers food dish (Heavy galvanized steel) has to be removed after he eats, or the silly thing makes noise all day by grabbing it along the edge and smacking it into his enclosure walls.

My king does it too.
