He's really cute! Looks like my Dozer. Did he bite you? or just try to?

Just tried. When I moved his hide box he was coming at me with his mouth open, it was the cuttes thing. When I picked him up he wraped around me really tight and went to work on my thumb.
Cheers,
Trevor

Trev, I hate to break this to you but Rosies do bite especially Mid Bajas(like that one), and coastals can be pretty nippy too. Thank god they dont get over 4 feet.(coastals). Desert locales and Mexican trivs seem to be the least likely to bite, but I've been bit by them all.
It's always a feeding response, but its not always accidental as some will actually calmly chomp right into a fresh washed hand without any warning, sometimes constricting as well.. I think they detect the warmth and thats all it takes sometimes.
Frequent handling does reduce the chances of bites
But then I find the bitey ones are always good feeders and good breeders.
Wait till it gets you between the thumb and forefinger....
Better get your bandaids and Bic Pen ready! LOL

I have lots of pics like that from the first few days with my Rosy. If you want him to stop rubbing some Lemon Juice on your hands. After a few days he'll tame down to the perfect sweetie!

After he tried to eat me yesterday he decided to shed today.
Still has the attitude though. No worries though. Thanks for the comments gang.
Cheers,
Trevor

Gorgeous looking Rosy! I think the Rosy's are one of the best to for feed responses... the one we had NEVER refuesed a meal and responsible for teaching me the importance of a long pair of tongs for feeding

Now you tell me! Do you know how valuable this info would have been two days ago! Just kidding! The last bite happen while handeling acutally not while removing or replacing.
Thanks,
Trevor
