A few nights ago, while on the phone with Robin... I was bragging how my 15 yr old girl had never ONCE bitten me or anyone else for that matter. Dixie has always been very sweet and I've always been very careful... until last night.

After lovingly preparing her rat-ala-mode, I hit upon the bright idea that I should get some pics of her before feeding her. Being a tad rushed (extra mouths to feed before f/t cooled off) I forgot to wash my hands. When I reached in to wake her up and give her some mommy loving.. she tagged me. My whole ring finger was in her mouth, down her throat and she was coiled tight around my hand before I could even register the feeling of 1000 needles piercing my skin at once. I can't repeat the words that flew from my mouth as I stood there with my 4 ft + girl coiled 'round my bleeding hand.

Of course once she realized that she couldn't eat my hand... she eventually released me and went in search of her real food. LOL Which she then heartily ate.





We tried to get a pic of her on my hand but my daughter couldn't get my camera out of the car fast enough.

So Robin thought I should share my story... cuz well it IS funny. (To us anyway LOL)
