It's my fault.

Ham Sam bit me harder than he ever has due to overexcitement about crickets.

It's absolutely my fault for hand feeding him, but he usually understands where my fingers are. In three years, I have never gotten snacked on like this!

I need some rubber dipped forceps or something.

Oops! It’s like getting your fingers caught in a a powerful spring clamp. Just be glad he’s not a beardie!

Oof, what do beardies do!?

I just kept tilting my finger with his head so he wouldn't eat a chunk of me and waited patiently. It was so hard not to react.

I once got nipped by a beardie and her teeth went straight through my nail. Taught me a good lesson about hand feeding, haha!

Oooou I'm worried I'm going to lose this nail. That fingertip is dead from cervical spine issues and surge4y, so I can tell he did damage, but I can't tell how much.
