This is a story some of you might get a kick out of. My day job is working in an office. I write contracts for the dept. of the air force. Most of the people I work with and a few of the customers and contractors know about my herps and nearly all agree that I am "not normal" any way, a feww weeks ago I was relocating a 7.5 fot male peruvian with an attitude problem and he was not in a good mood about it, he struck at me 15or 16 times and scared my wife right out of the snake room. I got him in his new cage without getting bit, or so I thought. I had a small trickle of blood on my right thumb. I cleaned it up and had 2 tiny punctures but it didn't look ike there were any teeth in them. All in all pretty good. over the last couple of weeks that joint has swelled and gotten a bit infected. I have opened it up, first with a needle, then with a knife, I have dug and squeezed and probed but could not find a tooth in there. So this morning, sitting in a meeting i must have been absent mindedly piking at it when i felt a pop and a quarter inch boa tooth landed on the other thumb nail. I let out a comment like "holy ", completely inappropriate for the meeting, and then had to explain and show everyone the tooth. If they though I was abnormal before you should see the way they look at me now. It has only been a couple of hours but the swelling is almost gone now, guess that was the only tooth in there. Just thought you might enjoy the story, I am still laughing at the looks people around the office are giving me.
