Growth?

Rufus has got some kind of growth in between his upper and lower mandible. It's about 2-3 mm each way and looks like he got a piece of raisin stuck, but it's attached. I tried to get a picture, but he (naturally) was wiggling, so I don't know if it will show up well: m Does anybody know what it is a...

Rufus used to bite when he was about 3 or 4. He lets me pet him now, but not as much as Donovan, who will insist upon being petted for about fifteen minutes. Whenever Rufus bit me, I'd spray him in the face with a water bottle and he hated it. Now he only bites (and throws a tremendous tempertantrum...

I keep mine in my room, but that's mostly because people complained of the mess. (tsk tsk tsk) Before that I had them in a room that got used a lot so they were used to people. I'd think you'd want to keep them indoors because of the wild animals.
