They decided that I am only to have a pinkie every three to four days. Grrr... More hissing and tailslapping coming up...I'm mean when I'm hungry... I was picked up again today, several times, they pick me up every day...sigh...sometimes I hardly bother to run away anymore...but today I was quite quiet when picked up but then I turned my neck and bit...clamped down good and hard on the finger knuckle. I tasted bit of the blood and then I let go.(Haahaa tetanus shot for her...) I was petted for a long time and when I was put back in the cage I sat in the open hand for a little while and then shot off under my cork. Then they fed me a pinkie...Yummmm...I shook it and chewed it and then it was GONE!!!
Later the hand came and picked me up again and I was quiet to be picked up but then I turned and grabbed a bit of thumb skin...she hadn't got the angle quite right... They tried to get me to let go and of course I wouldn't. Then THEN...OUTRAGE...a nasty firey stuff was dripped into my mouth...I thought my head would EXPLODE...I opened my mouth so fast and so wide thought I was turning inside out...flicking my tongue like crazy trying to get rid of that horrible taste....YEECCHHH...then I sat in the hand quietly and was petted. When I was put back in the cage I was soo relaxed I had to be poured out of her hand and encouraged to get into the cage....I was picked up a few more times aswell and I didn't much care for getting away from the hand when I was put back in. Last time I almost had to be scraped off onto the basking branch...Maybe it's not soo bad here...
They put a new thing in my cage today. It's a branch but I ignored it for hours...then I found out that I can get inside...I'm NEVER coming out again HAHAA...

I was happily sitting in my little cage at the pet shop when this funny smelling person came along. Smelled funny, I say because I think I smelled her once before...Eeek...yes a few weeks ago she came in and I was summarily picked up and PETTED...(outrage!!!)...
So I am dozing on the cork thing and suddenly all this fuss and I am in a nasty (and I mean NASTY) little plastic box. Then there's all this movement and changing smells and then eventually I get put in this HUGE place...Me, I scarpered, right under the cork...nice and warm there tho'. Pretty soon this squirming pink thing arrives, but I'm not real hungry and so I ignore it...This later vanishes.
So I start to get settled in this new place, exploring the pool and basking branch and all, and after a while I'm just happily dozing under the cork...(well I guess it was about 6-7 hours I had been in the new place..)..well a hand comes in and tries to PICK ME UP!!!..scarpered again, around and around, I even tried to hide in the pool, but no luck, just when I had the one hand figured out, another one got me...so I chomped it....but guess what...nothing happened. I thought these people were supposed to freak when you bit them...but no...what's more, the skin on the back of the thumb was so rubbery I got my jaw stuck....but I was stroked and petted until I was all calm and after a few more lazy and (well I have to admit) half-hearted chews, and some drooling, I was moved to the other hand and I could let go of the thumb...Well then I almost fell asleep...
So after a bit I get a new hand again...a small hiss and then that was OK too....but when I was handed back I decided this was enough and made for a big jump, but I got gently grasped and found out that this jumping bit didn't help. Then I got to smell another hand, (three different smells in all) and was petted some more....and eventually I was put back in the big cage...I belted it for the cork. After a while the light went out and I went to sleep under the cork on the nice warm bit in the corner...What a DAY!!!
