Well, he usually doesn't mind his face being touched and the rest of him was covered by fake vines. AKA I foolishly trusted him and took the fastest route to checking on him. 100% my own fault, but up to now I hadn't applied any caution to interacting with him because he's super chill and worst case scenario was, as seen, basically no worse damage than a paper cut. Buut now we're switching to caution and appropriate training before his face gets big enough to be somewhat damaging. I also don't want him to bite people who are not me even at his current size.
He is very pretty, thank you both! He also is a sweetheart, just a hungry one.
