Saw Gus and Gizzy mating yesterday and today Gizzy was making another nest but still no more eggs. Counting down the days till the first candling.
Today during morning feeding Gizzy came up and gave me a nibble on my shirt which is very unusual.
During dinner she came over and started eating next to me so I started petting her and I guess Gus got jealous cause he came over and leaned over I thought he would nibble on my sleeve like usual but nope. Big bite to my finger. Started bruising within ten minutes. So he got a hug and was not happy about it lol.
Hes to fat to pick up. And I feel bad whenever I try to cause he always sounds breathless I was worried maybe the way I hold him is wrong so I've been kneeling down and wrapping me arms around him and petting the back of his neck. He fights for a bit but usually just ends up going still with his head downward nuzzled into my arm. I usually do it when he's hissing up a storm but there was no warning hiss this time.
I want to believe I'm doing a decent job of being between like and hate for him since he doesn't charge me like he does with my mom and doesn't run away like he does with my dad and my brother lol Since late fall I've gotten a few clothing nibbles from him but only on his good days lol. Which are rare and far between.
