I made a Stupid Feeding Error feeding my biggest bp Saturday evening and got a bite for my trouble. I *knew* I was making one, even as I did it, too, so I have no excuse.

I dropped a freshly killed rat out of a bag into her enclosure, with her way on the other end, but it fell right into the corner with its back to the cage. I knew that would make it hard to find the head and start swallowing, so instead of grabbing the little kid's fishing pole I have a few feet away specifically for the purpose of moving prey like this, I reached my hand in, nice and warm and moving close to rat scent, and got tagged. The cool thing is that you can actually see top and bottom jaw positioning from the teeth marks she left behind. It's too bad it probably won't scar, but no, I don't want to repeat the experience to try for a scar.

For those who would ask -- yes, it hurt, but not as badly as the kitten scratch I got half an hour later about 1/4" away from the bottom jaw bite.
