I always keep rubbing alcohol nearby when I handle my goini. The male has only tagged me once. Guess he thought my finger was a mouse. He had the entire thing swallowed by the time hubby brought me the rubbing alcohol. (NOW I keep it within arms reach). The female I have tagged me the minute I took her out of her shipping box when I first got her, and has gotten me a few times since then. Almost always a feeding response. She's such an aggressive feeder (as is the male) that they both end up grabbing their mice in midair and coiling them.
They are aggressive (the babies are cute though, even when they are trying to "kill" you), but they always calm down upon handling. They just expect a mouse to drop down from heaven, so tend to bite first and ask questios later. ----- ~Sasheena
