Our Pixel was quite a sneaky snapper when we first got her. She was of the lick lick lick BITE school of human tasting, but not a toe nipper. She liked to climb into bed and lick between our fingers and then chomp down of the tender webbing between the thumb and index. The way I dealt with this was to sink her level. If she bit me too hard or tried to lock on I would either pinch the scruff of her neck, or even BITE HER on the scruff just until she would make her 'WrrrWrrrWrrr" distress call. I woud then let go, bear my teeth at her and go "HISSST." I would only do this when she bit down painfully hard, so she has learned that it is OK to nibble, but locking on is bad, and that you always let sleeping human lie.
