I'm keeping a close eye on my scrub for the same reasons. He musks more than he bites these days, and he has gotten a little better, but he's still very unpredictable and is ALWAYS poised to strike. He's NEVER relaxed. And he has such a huge strike range that it's tough to always keep the sharp end away from my face. Wild animal or not if he ever bites my face it's game over for him. I'm hoping we never get to that point and if I don't see things get better in a year or two I may re-home him as well. I've already accepted the fact that he'll be more of a hands off/display animal, and that doesn't bother me, but I won't tolerate an animal I have to fight constantly fight with.

Yea, scrubs are no joke. I had to check her nose because it looked a little strange and it makes a simple task a lot more challenging. Definitely understand that when routine maintenance causes a lot of stress that it's time to make a change.
