I got nailed (exactly what it feels like) by a six inch (including tail) baby once at a reptile meet and greet at one of those pet expos. The biggest problem was the little one would not let go of my finger! I had to just stand there and keep petting him until he let go or risk tearing my skin. Held on for all of about ten minutes. I had the imprint of the boney searations on my finger for almost 24 hours afterward.
