Woot! My Very First Retic Bite! *Pics*

I knew it was going to happen eventually, just didn't think it would take this long (lol). Originally I thought my male Super Dwarf would be the first one, since he always negates the rat I offer him and goes straight for me! But no this was done by my lil girl Rocket. And there are two reasons why she did, the first reason is because today is feeding day, and the second reason is because she moved her hide from the warm side to the cool side, so I went in there to move her tub back and that is when she went all "Oooh, no you didn't!"

Now she is coiled up in the very hide box I just moved to the warm side, so hey, needless to say, mission accomplished! :D

And here is a pic of my hand after I cleaned the wound(good pic of the teeth marks.)

PS: When a retic bites you, even if its a Super Dwarf, they don't let go! :O

That's a girl with attitude :rolleyes:

PS: That's harly a bite just a kiss :P

Geesh Jason don't you know once a lady has got her home set up just so, no male is safe if he dares to move a thing! Silly, silly you LOL.

So enquiring minds do want to know, how do you get a retic off your hand? :)

Whoa, hope she grows out of that!

I swear, as soon as I touched the hide she got this look on her face as if I had committed a serious offense.

lol, Well, I supposed I just learned that the hard way. :D

I got her off by taking her to the sink, and putting her body under some luke-warm water. Soon as the water hit her she about jumped out of her skin. lol

PS: She hates water, I noticed that when I would go in to mist her tub when the humidity got alil low during the winter.

Thanks, nah she really isn't that bad. However I hope she gets alil more use to handling in the future.

Retic teeth are always fun, I learned the hard way from an 8 footer...Human error, and yes I (shall I say we because luckily and responsibly I had someone with me) used water for the release...I moved to quick, feeding error (F/T)....
Their teeth hurt!!!
Glad you fared well and were able to get pictures... also sounds like she was lucky and didn't have to lose any teeth which is always a good thing.
Also just want to compliment you, if I haven't yet, she is a beautiful lil tic.
