    Thumbs up First Blood

    I opened the super zebra's cage to change his water today, and figured we could do a short handling exercise.
    I held my fist out for him to smell and he promptly bit my knuckles and wrapped my hand and wrist. It bled more than I would have expected.
    There ensued a Benny Hill theme song worthy scene of me trying to unwrap him, him trying to find a more safe position to kill me, and me trying not to bleed on the rug while shouting for my wife to bring the camera.
    Alas, she did not arrive before I got him unwrapped.
    I kept him out for 5-10 additional minutes, using a small hook to disinterest him from the notion of attempting to swallow my arm sideways.

    Smug face covered in MrBrightside's blood:

    I just listened to the Benny hill theme song. I can just imagine you and that snake all wrapped up together. Yes I'm still laughing at you.

    It's humbling when you have to take a breath and think about how you have just been defeated by a critter with a brain the size of a couple sunflower seeds, who is utilizing the ONE technique at their disposal, which you fully knew might happen.
    I think my favorite part is when they wrap their tail around something to "anchor" you.

    Round Two- I cheated

    I admit, I took the cowards route today (gloves), but he did calm down somewhat after about ten minutes of S-neck/striking and started looking around.
    He struck the glove a couple of times, and tried to execute my middle finger (fitting) by constricting but lost interest quickly.
    I suppose we start hook training now.

    It's all good Bright. I'm sure he'll be putty in your hands in no time.

    If you can't get him to settle down. You can always send him to me. I'm Sure he will be just fine with time.

    Re: New Super Zebra Jungle

    I guess I should have followed your lead and used a glove too Bright. I had to do some cage maintenance and I guess my young olive python was a little upset that I disturbed him. I have no idea how he tagged me in 2 places with one bite.
