can you believe it?
I got bit by my beardie
he's more freaked out about it than I am though
this is what happened:
Henner has been expanding his food choices (a sign of maturity)
so today I gave him some of the apricot I was eating and he really liked it
I was just pinching it off with my fingers and soon enough I had pulp on all my fingers and . . .
he really thought he had a piece of apricot and bit down hard, which in turn caused me to yank back while screaming, dragging him halfway across the tank
and then
because it really f***ing hurt, I yanked my finger out of his mouth (poor little dude)
I immediately apologized and made sure he was okay
gave him a few more pieces of apricot (put them down in front of him) and he took them
everything seemed fine
then suddenly he looks at my finger and backs away
I hadn't noticed that I was bleeding quite a bit
it seemed to freak him out - the smell probably
interesting
