Shahi says thank you, and hi to Prince!
I don't do facebook but my email addy is on my profile under 'hobbies' - we have to work it that way as the pm'ing facility doesn't work on this forum - you're welcome to contact me - I'm usually around from midday to midnight (night owl) but there's usually plenty of people on here too. |

| Its best to not handle the snake (essential handling aside) for as long as it takes for him to eat three times, so 3 weeks if everything goes well. Just helps them to settle in. Once they have eaten its 100% hands off while they digest at least 48 hours, it takes a lot of energy so they do a lot of sleeping while they digest and also handling can upset them and they may regurgitate the rat and believe me you never want to smell a regurged rat, the smell peels paint off the walls. |

| They have that effect on lots of people, my Mum was the same, she was really worried about been in the same house as Duke but after one day and watching how lovely and calm he was she held him. She then went on to handle my corn snake but didnt like him as he was 'too wiggly' lol, she wouldn't hold the Boa though, she has a bad reputation. |

| LOL - my cat Emily sleeps on top of Buffy's viv! The eldest, Finn, doesn't take any notice of the snakes, but Mouse, his daughter (born before they moved in with me; they were all feral) is fascinated with the snakes ...the snakes seem to enjoy communing with her through the glass or shall we say they show no fear of her, but I'm still very vigilant, although Shahi bonded with Mouse before he did with me. |
