Aww, I'm sorry you're having such a tough time with Doc. I remember your threads about Pudgy, all that you and she went through. I hope that this bite doesn't cause you any trouble, you've been through alot with your health problems. I have one suggestion, please follow it. You really need a thick pair of work gloves. Please get yourself a pair ASAP....your finger needs to heal, and you don't want a repeat. If it gets too much to
bathe him at the moment, just a light spray [ a direct stream ] with a spray bottle on his nose is enough for a drink. He may not go for it right away, but if he gets
thirsty, he will. If the water puddles on the enclosure floor, he may bend down +instictively drink...and if it's too much just mop it with some papertowel. If you have a screen top tank, the humidity is not really a problem at all. Also, you can offer wet greens to will help keep him
hydrated. I hope that mean old Doc will turn into " Docile Doc " in a few months, or even weeks. You're a very patient person.
