Here is my bite report:

I was feeding my spiders, wearing thin craft gloves because I hate the touch of crickets. As I went to feed Fawlks, my 3.5 inch C. cyaneopubescens, I dropped the cricket in the cage. Suddenly he jumped on my hand and I was startled. I must have moved too fast and he grabbed my finger through the glove. I feel bad about what happened next because I accidently shook him off my hand. :8o Mom and Dad tried and look at my finger but I was screaming because I was afraid that I'd killed Fawlks.

I had two white bumps on my finger. They hurt just a little tiny bit. Mom did not even think about taking a picture. She was nervous but I was fine. I think Fawlks was just trying to keep from falling, so it was a dry bite.

I held Fawlks the next day (without the gloves) and everything was fine.
