My female infernalis loves to dive deep but the male almost never gets in the water.

Ah, taking the conversation right back to the first post in the thread

My Cuitzeos don't spend much time in the water now. I think the water is where they go when they feel threatened, they'd rather be submerged than hiding under a rock. The only time they've spent much time in water since they got settled has been when I've changed their vivs around substantially. Then they get used to the new place and ignore the water.

Today was the day I knew would come one day. Today Lacrimosa delivered a bleeding bite while I was feeding her. Totally a feeding accident, she knows where the food comes from and was lined up on the shelf near the door as I was trying to get fish to Adora who was further back, and Lacci had my finger as it past her head when I took my hand back out of the viv.
She released immediately, and scarpered to the other side of the viv. It bled quite a bit, which makes me wonder how much damage she could do if she chewed.

She's still my favourite and a real sweetie most of the time.

How's Lacrimosa doing? I hope she's okay.
You are current on your shots aren't you Chris?

She's fine. She even got more food before I stopped to wash the bloody finger - when I get bitten I like to let it bleed to flush out any crap that might otherwise enter my bloodstream. A bit of tissue to stop the blood dripping on the carpet is all you need.
