[QUOTE="kormath, post: 68692, member: 4199"] It took me a month or so for my son to talk me into holding the GBB when we first got it and i was cringing and gritting my teeth the whole time she sat on my palm. After i started collecting i was nervous just opening cages to water them, and these were mostly tiny slings. If I had an escapee i'd holler at my son lol. I'd guess in the last month or so, maybe 2, i haven't hollered hardly at all ;) I won't handle the larger slings, as i'm still nervous about them if they escape. I'll use a catch cup and return them. The smaller slings i have no problem with now. They can climb out onto my hand and i'm fine with it. With some, like the rosea and G. pulchripes, I've found myself wanting to handle. They're so cute when they're tiny like that. It's when they get larger and I think what damage the fangs alone could do i get nervous ;) Progress!! :D [/QUOTE]
