So I said "You little turd! My fingers are not food!"

Tann May 19, 2005 11:15 PM

So after I fed Apollo and took out his cinder blocks and stuff to let him have his fill off crickets, i had my hand resting on a cinder block that was leaning on the wall of his cage. Well he casually strolls over to my hand and begins licking it, checking it out, you know the deal.

Well he has a fetish about scratching his head on stuff just randomly, so he starts scratching his head and nose on my fingers, rubbing between them. Then he starts smelling them again and then decides to eat my fingers and attempts to bite them. I move my finger and tap him on the head and he gives me this look as if saying "...the hell was that!". He looks around and attempts to bite me again so I tap'em on the nose this time and gives the same look.

By this time, i'm trying not to laugh cause it's just funny how he cocks his head and just stares at me. This little game continues a few more times until my arm hurts and I pull my hand out. Well, he gets mad and tail whips me like a spoiled brat, which is what he is.

All and all, it just amazes me how I've only had him alittle more than a week and he's already somewhat comfortable around me and doing my business in the cage.
