Well, it was just a matter of time! I've officially been initiated! LOL

Had the big girl, Sarah out and decided to let her "stretch her legs" on the floor of the living room. Boy, she moved fast across the floor, and when I reached for the back end of her body to pull her back from a nice dark area she spied, she turned around and nailed me on my hand. Quick strike and release, and tried to take off again.

Luckily I had her tub opened and managed to "wrastle" her back into her tub, hissing the whole time. Calm sweet Sarah gone mad!

I'm sure she was just frightened and viewed me as a predator when I grabbed her, but once she was in that mode - she did not turn off, had to hold her out from my body while she continued to hiss and strike at me as I set her into her tub and she quickly retreated into her hide.

About 10 minutes after she settled, I did take her out again, but didn't let her loose on the floor. I didn't want her to connect being all mean and grumpy with keeping me away. I held her about five more minutes, gently stroking her and then put her back - no aggression at that time.

I was expecting a bite one day - most likely from Skye - just wasn't expecting my first bite to be from my biggest! Gotta respect that attitude!
