    Though I dont mind the bite much if im not expecting it I feel that theres a chance I might pull away quickly like just out of being startled & im petrified of possibly hurting her that way.
    .... why was it hilarious? lol
    If they get a good grip, mouth wide open. It's hard for them to release. The curved teeth for holding onto pray causes that problem. I grab the tip of their head(snout) and pull it forward slightly, then pull up and back. While I do that I roll my finger forward and they do the rest. So far, no broken teeth as a result of this procedure and it doesn't seem to bother them. They're ready to eat and could care less anyway. Little pigs!
    I've always noticed a strange look on their faces when they bite. It's kind of like they're thinking "I got you now, what are you going to do about it"

    And after they release your finger, you get a disgusted, "Yuck, blech, you taste terrible, dude!" kind of look!

    Ewwww. I think when I got that look, it was because I had washed them. I probably tasted like soap.
