Hey Rob, First welcome to the bite club. My male bit me about 5 weeks ago. Similar circumstances, it was feeding day. I reached in to the females enclosure to remove him and place him in his own enclosure when, wham, he tagged me on the hand. He didn't latch on, just a bite and run kinda thing. I was more startled then hurt. It just bled alot. I think it has to do with a feeding response. He hasn't shown any aggression since then. Both of mine always seem inquisitive when I open they're enclosures, so, now I use a little more caution when handling them. Not fear, respect. They are like motorcycles, if you respect them you'll be ok, if not, then they'll reach out and get you. Anyway, welcome to the bite club. Got any pics of the bite marks? Post'em.
