Bummer, could have bought a picture of a T then and saved the cost on crickets. Surely letting it walk on your hands etc can't be that stressfull? As long as you do not make threatening or fast moves, I think it should be ok. The T's are born and raised in captivity so it's used to having people around it. I would think a "wild" (for lack of a better word) T would be fully stressed out being "man handled" every once in a while. Sorry but also think handling your T to keep it used to you is a better idea. Hotsnakes needs to be handled at least 3 times a week to get used to your smell and would think T's should be similar. ....just my two cents on the subject....</p></blockquote><p></p>
