Im getting better with handling and have only handled my smithi. Ive been doing it cos i was told if you do it fairly regular from a juvi they will learn that you are not a threat so will be ok i do get the shakes sometimes but the main thing that happens is that i can feel my heart beating wen getting her on my hand. I cant help but think if i get bitten ill jump and hurt the t. I want and need to overcome it tho as ts are with me for life now. Naybe i need to be bitten to show me what its like lol</p></blockquote><p></p>
