When I first got my female parietalis, the guy at the show let me hold her. She was under a lot of stress; there was a lot of heat, light, and sound around her.
She grappled onto the skin on my index finger knuckled and chewed back and forth. After she had finished here she grabbed onto fleshy part of my thumb and chewed and chewed and chewed until there were cuts all along my thumb. I don't think I have a pic on hand, but it was the nastiest bite I ever got from a garter. Today, she's a real sweetheart.

The other day, Don sent me two wandering garters and a big male corn. *Pics soon. :P*
After he had warmed up a bit, I offered him a fuzzy. He lunged at it and nicked my thumb and index finger. There was no blood, and I only felt what seemed like 4-5 teeth in me. Minor setback.
