Not sure what provoked the strike. He had his head out of his hide when I brought the rats in the room. I had washed my hand and used hand sanitizer before trying to handle him. I slowly rotated his hide up and set it on his water dish and went to go pick him up and BAM!

Took these pics and then went in for round 2. Completely calm when I went back in the second time.

YAY, I finally got tagged! I didn't even feel it when it happened, but the area is a little sore now.
