Reiterating what chrish said, this is not uncommon for baby rosies, so do not think yours is a bad one. They can be eager feeders, and warm human skin is enticing. That is why when gloves are worn, the behavior often ceases (though not always!)



Be glad. A great feeding rosy is a good animal. Use a snake hook to remove it from the cage, and keep the hook near its neck as you grasp its body. Oh, and keep it well fed.



Some will bite always, some give it up as adults, some never bite ever. You can never tell up front.
