And I agree, a cat scratch hurts worse than a ball python bite, so let her nail you once and you'll know you have nothing to fear. Just don't jerk your hand back if she does get you--you don't want to rip any teeth out since it could cause an infection in her mouth. If you choose to go with gloves, try to get a pair of leather ones--the soft fuzzy gloves could get stuck in her teeth as well.

I had the same with one of mine, my little boy put him on the floor & he kept striking. its fear, open space & you are a huge predator..just the fight or flight instinct..I got my boy to pick him up from behind, if you pull away they see it as working, try to ignore it..my little boy had him out the following morning, not happened again :)
We got a really defensive/aggresive pastel, perseverance..shes fine now..just ignore the striking & hissing its usually just bluster

hmmm ok your post helps... but if i were to let her get me .. with out pulling away might be a prob.. cuzz i might do it with out even trying if you know what i mean... and i def don't want to hurt her by pullin teeth..
