Wow! Lots of great, quick responses! Clearly I'm not the only one spending a lot of time around here

I haven't invested in a digital scale yet, but I'd say he's about 20-24" long, and judging by pictures around here maybe 5-7 months old?

The bite came the day before my big first time trying to feed. I wiped off the two smallest drops of blood ever (I can be so dramatic) and went back and picked him up. He was fine, I was still a bit nervous, and we only bonded for a couple of minutes before he went back in. It was definitely just a defensive "tag and release" kind of bite. Him yawning tonight while I was holding him definitely didn't help the confidence situation...

The t-shirt suggestion is definitely something I'll try. I'll try just picking him up and putting him down outside the cage for a bit too. Great suggestions!

Thank you all! Definitely helping me feel better about it
