I was cleaning the enclosure and sure...I know Karel was hungry. I already was tawing a rat for him.. (Yes I cleaned my hands after taking the rat out of the fridge)
He seemed to be not interested in the progress of scooping up what ever mess he made and so I kept on scooping and all.
After some minutes he came towards me with a glinster in his eye and seemed all interested in the progress...Now I know when hes hungry I have to watch my steps. And lucky for me I am not easely frightend of animals else I would've never come near him again as he had tried to eat the spoon I am cleaning with some weeks ago (while it was in my hand...man the power he has in his yaws!) And he had tried to eat the grip I use to get something in or out while hes eating the night before (he sometimes is a bit strange with those things..)
And mind you this is a tegu I can pet and all..
Well to make a short story even shorter; after some scooping and things he launched an attack on me! I keept a close eye on him so I sumbled out of the way on time and he snapt on the carton I had in my hand while I was moving backwards, he fell out of his enclosure and sat on the floor a bit goofy...looking around as to say: "hey...what happend, where am I???"
Well as my dog was taking up interest in him and I didnt want the dumb animal to get bitten in the nose by Karel, I picked Karel up in a strange way I admit but I was kinda in a hurry...And trew him back in the enclosure as he was trying to either bite me or just warn me with an open mouth he was not pleased with me picking him up in that way.
Well nedeles to say...I need to get busy on calming him more... :P
