I'm still impressed by how fast the dwarf was. I don't think a camera could have caught much of that. It had its head turned back 180 degrees in under a tenth of a second.
Under better circumstances, it probably would have been fine. But they'd just dumped him out of a shipping box into a tiny tank with a really angry Caiman crocodilus. From his perspective, he was surrounded: the C.crocodilus on his right, with me reaching in on his left and touching the back of his head. He only snapped at me once, just catching my second metacarpel; it was defensive.
As freaked as the owner was about that, I shoulda settled out of court. Gimee the palpebrosus and we'll forget the whole thing.
Oh well. Next time....
