This female has consistantly charged my hand whenever it was in her enclosure. She used to charge, touch my fingers with her front legs, and move back. Every time. For 3 years or so..Well today, she charged, and immediately bit me on the middle finger, last knuckle, in the crease. It burns a little bit..similar to a wasp sting. I tried to get an image of the two holes but its a **** picture, doesn't show anything(my phone camera sucks..) i think the molt pic is viewable but it sucks too..[ATTACH=full]32119[/ATTACH] The bite is negligable..the burning is almost gone. Her fangs are black and intact. I didn't even really react, I didn't jerk my hand back, and the bite was quick. I'm fixing to feed her..she's gorgeous..jet black..and hungry, apparently. Feeding response..this SCREAMS it...I'm fine, Domino is fine. I guess she was lucky..<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
