i used to take my normal female out (Back before she was a breeder) and wear her around my neck...peoples reactions were typically "isn't she going to bite you?!" or "isn't she going to choke you!?" my response: Yes, thats why she's around my neck...?

i think it has a lot to do with religion and lack of exposure. i get a lot of questions about how getting bit feels and my response is it like a kittens bite, just faster. its pretty sad self-defense--a few pinpricks by some hair-like teeth.
