What method of attack did it use when it was "aggressive" just keep biting you?
Did it hurt much, ive never actually been bitten by one but TBH unless they are venomous most of them dont actually have anything more scarey looking in their mouth than a pet gerbil does?
I was never brave enough to stick my hand in It would lift its front legs and rear up, they flick hair off their abdomen which is quite irritating as it sticks in your skin like glass fiber and they bite, The Mexican red knee i had when she bit me was no worse than a wasp sting... the Cobalt was about the size of my hand stretched out and had fangs a few mm long.

So basically a gerbil can hurt you far more if it bites you and yet people arent scared of them?

Ill see if i can dig one out.... It was the Mrs Snake so i dont have access to it anymore.

We got her from Mark up at Ameyzoo in Bovingdon infact thats where all of the Reptiles came from, the Spiders were supplied from Jollys Exotic pets in Enfield.
