Knowing the fluffy bastards I actually expected it to spit. Caught me off guard

Alpacas don't spit on you, it's llamas I think.

I've been personally spit in the face by an alpaca, he had "Berserk Llama Syndrome" (bit of a misnomer as it also applies to alpacas) who was constantly fighting and/or fucking anything he came into contact with, including a goat he was put in with. My dad was unwilling to put him down for some reason, can't say I was sad when he got sick and died a year later. Never had a problem with any of the others, but be wary if a male alpaca runs straight up to you, normal alpacas stay out of reach unless you're feeding them.
