Somebody should warn poor innocents like me before publishing pictures of cute new baby Bosc monitors. Got some about two weeks ago and decided they might enjoy basking in natural sunlight for a change. Boy was I wrong! They got stressed out in the tub and one got hold of my finger... and bit.....and bit....and bit......kind of like having your digit caught in a pliers with someone squeezing the other end??
In the end I got hold of some Tequila (nearest alcohol to me) and put a few drops on his nose - it didn't work. Then tried a bit of cold water in his face from the tap. He wriggled a bit which just made the pain worse! Eventually more tequila ...don't know if he was just tired by this time but he let go. I tenderly returned both the little darlings to their cage vowing to wear my leather gloves until they get a little tamer.
The scariest part is that they are still babies
