Mine tried to eat me once...I had been handling the rats, and washed up and everything. Guess I missed a spot. Took out my BP to clean his tank, feel something soft, look down, and he's got his mouth wide open trying to swallow my forearm He realized I wasn't a rat, and went on his merry way up my arm, haha. I figured he didn't bite me, because it felt nothing like his bites do.
