your funnys or close calls

[Psychotic]

When I first got my kingsnake Jormungandr, he was not a very nice snake. He used to strike at you when you walk past his cage. He would come flying out when you opened his cage with mouth wide open. He was a total biter! One day when I was holding him, he must have been hungry. He got a hold on my pinky finger and proceeded to swallow it! He got all the way down to where the finger connects to the hand and I could not get him to let go. I tried putting his head under cold water. I tried the mouth wash trick. I even tried smacking the end of his nose with a pen. All to no avail! He would not let go. I didn't want to hurt him and just yank him off. You can rip their teeth out or even break their jaw doing that. So after my last try of trying to pry his jaws open with no success I ran the sink full of luke warm water and stuck him underneath. I figured he would have to let go in order to breath! He did finally let go to come to the surface and breath. But boy did it take forever! Snakes can hold their breath for a really long time!

I'm glade to say that after a year of handling him even while being bitten that he is used to it and no longer bites. He has turned into a pretty calm snake. I've warned everyone he has gone off to do a breeding loan with about his past of being a biter and they just can't believe that sweet little snake was like that lol!

Well, you might consider this a close call. Anyways, one day, I was feeding my former bullfroglet, Gnag [She's a juvenile now] a cricket. I was just placing it down onto a water reed, but I suppose Gnag must've been hungry, because the second I let it go, Gnag leapt, ate the cricket, and part of my finger too. She let go instantly, but, wow, a bite from even a bullfroglet hurts! I had a red mark there for a couple of days!

Recently I have been trying to get my wife acclimated to taking care of the
terrible trio. Brownie , Bubba , Buster my three whites tree frogs.

Since Brownie is the biggest and the most aggressive the only way
the others can get food is one of two ways.
Either putting one frog at a time in a feeding box or tong feeding
and even tong feeding is a challenge since Brownie will follow the tongs
and even go after fingers. ( I think it is funny and love that she is so active.)

Well my wife will not tong feed.
so she would have to get use to handing the frogs.
So I had her put on gloves and wet them in the water bowl.
I placed the most laid back frog of the bunch (Bubba) in her hands
an he promptly projectile peed on her shirt.
She let out a scream and slowly handed me Bubba.
I am so proud of her that she didn't throw or drop bubba.
I couldn't help but laugh so hard that I was getting cramps.
Needless to say she was really upset to the point of tears.

I would give a left part of my male parts to have a video of that.
