Re: Iv just been lunged at

Rubber (latex) gloves ... I used to keep Similis and one young male would flat out attack me for all he was worth every time I went to fetch him. He would bite me, holding on chewing and grinding his jaws into me while I strolled over to the sink to run cold water over his head until he released his hold. This did get 'old', lol. Apparently the taste of latex was less desireable then his 'need' to gnaw on me and he did stop chewing on me even when I did not wear the gloves. Every so often I would have to wear the gloves again to 'remind' him but it did work pretty well ...

best wishes ...
