So Mork, is acting funny... He's my SHCTB.. he's about 5 years old... so I go into his tank... put my hand out and he walks onto my arm...settling down in my chair I start to look him over. He has an adorable loveable face (see attached photos)
I notice in his smile on the left side just in the gumline is a red spot, his mouth looks a little infected as I start to look closer I put my finger to his lip.. He opens wide.. My eyes widen and I am pretty impressed.. Figured it was sorta like the story of the mouse and the elephant.. (you help get the thorn out of my paw and I wont step on ya)... I praised him sweetly "good boy Mork.. momma's lil boy wants me to help make him feel better"... rubbing my finger along the gumline I find a tiny grain of sand stuck.. just as my finger glides over the sand and it slips from his mouth.. the sneak lil shit turns his head and chomps on my finger like a gut loaded cricket dowsed in calcium... :yikes: I squeeled like a 3 year old but then gave him a fine talking to - never ever bite the hand that feeds you, bathes you, cleans your poopy and sneaks you mealies and superworms when the other geckos arent looking...:evil: he promised never to bite again, then swiftly forgot his promise whipped around and nipped my pinkie too... he went into time out... no mealies for the monster leo!!
