To be honest considering how grumpy Yoshi can get at times i think i did quite well to go a whole year and 1 year 2 months without getting bitten...but last night i just pushed him too far!
Over the past few months every time Yoshi has shed there has been a small strip on skin left on his belly. Normally i pick him up and after hes calmed down a little i slightly tilt him back so i can peel it off.
But last night he had other ideas. He just wouldnt seem to calm down and had a flailing paddy that caused me to put him down and give him a time-out.
Left him for 5 mins and then tried again and this time when he was strugling he managed to whip his head round and get me on the thumb. Thankfully i didnt panick like i was always afriad would happen and i put him back in the viv. I always thought i might hurt him if i jumped and he got flung across the room.
I guess i was lucky as i only got the side of his mouth and he didnt grab on very hard and let go straight away.
Was my own fault really but i just wanted to help him out
I still didnt get the skin off so ill get my revenge by giving him a warm bath
Here is my thumb just after he bit me. It did bleed a bit as he bit a chunk of my skin off.
This is what it looks like now. Its a bit sore cos its on the knuckle but ive had worse
And this is Yoshi who ive now started calling Mr Chewy Bite-ums He almost looks smug :main_laugh:
