ok well i have a spit report...( kinda like a bite or sting report)
i took out my assassins the other day to show some friends that were over.
i just took out 1 of the pieces of bark that is in thier enclosure so they could get a good look at them. done this many times. and i've never had a problem. i was explaining how small they were when i first got them to a friend.
so i was holding a piece of bark with about 5-6 adults on it. and i reached into the cage to pick up a small piece of substrate to show a size reference of how big they were when i got them.
my 1 friend was close to me and asking questions. then i felt him get spit in my face when he was talking(well not spit but you all know what i mean)
no big deal so i kept talking. then i felt the spit again. and then realised it wasn't from my friend talking but 1 of the assassins. i remembered they can spit acid at you and 1 of them was sniping out my eyes. (this moment of realization only took a split second as the extreme burning and pain set in) so i danced around for a minute in extreme pain. and then rinsed out my eye with some cold water. this by far was some of the worst pain i've ever experenced. after about 10 minutes i got my contact lens out of my eye. as it was getting deformed. and rinsed my eye some more. it took about an hour for the pain to go away and about 2 hours for the redness and inflamation to go down.
i'm glad i don't freakout about things as my friends were demanding to take me to the ER. but i assured them i was good.(or at least i hoped)
its now been about 24 hours since i was assaulted. and i have no ill effects other then the corner of my eye is really sensitive and some spots on my face seem to have been burned by the acid.
so be careful with these guys. i've had them out lots of times before and this never happened. so always use caution.

i know i'm making some funny faces but it was really hard to open my eye. and i wanted to document this for you guys.
so promise not to make fun of me lol
