Now and again perhaps and being able to transfer them when cleaning etc would be easier. I've just got a Brazilian black which is at a decent size and was wondering wether to start handling it sooner rather than later or leave it awhile. I'm aware they probably don't become tame more a tolerance I guess towards it or just plain used to it. I have a sub adult t which allowed handling when I first got it but as soon as anything goes near it now it goes all out defensive without even being touched, wondered more if this is because its afraid due to lack of human bothering!! Any thoughts on this subject,</p></blockquote><p></p>
