I had my 1st S.F.E. today! I placed a mouse in Rex's (42 inch, 2 yr. old BP) enclosure and Rex instantly showed intense interest. He slid right into his S-curve and was ready for the meal to begin. The mouse, on the other hand, started moving to the other side of the enclosure. So I reached in (Duh!) to shoo the mouse back in Rex's direction, and my nice warm moving hand got nailed!!!

No teeth left behind. Plenty of bleeding. And of course, an education for me.

Totally my fault (as these things almost always are).

Rex instantly let go and snagged the mouse. He knew it was an error too.

I feel like more of a herper now that I've been tagged. O yeah, I feel a little more stupid too. Glad I don't keep Crotalus, etc. (I'm apparently too stupid).

Ah. Good times.
