Saturday morning I fed my kids and changed out the water bowls. Petey got a tasty medium rat while I did dishes and ran around the apartment. So after I figure he isn't going to eat as the rat is on the warm side and he is huddled over on the cool side. I open the lid and go to put the bowl down in his tank. Then it happened, he bit me. My hand should not have smelled like rat at all as it was in and out of dawn/ammonia dish water for the previous 20+ minutes. I was happy and proud that he bit me, I thought another BP was gonna be the one to do the honors. I was giddy for like a hour afterward.
And here are the pics:
After some analysis, his top row of teeth are on the right where all the blood is and one bottom tooth punctured the knuckle.
Sorry for the blurry pics of Pete, didn't realize I shook that much.
