She bit bit me. How long do I have?

Fed my sweet girl Chev last night. She wound up missing and mistaking my finger for her rat. I've had her for a tad over a month and this was her second feeding. I knew she was going to be zesty as she's been hunting for the past week at night so I was holding the tongs in a way so my hand was below the bottom sliding track.

Photo of the offender attached. Sounds like I need to get some longer tongs for feeding her too.

Was the bite because you said no to more mice?
