I'll admit, I was rather scared and nervous about owning a BP but something inside of me was fascinated enough to pull the trigger. It's been 2-3 months since my BP arrived and I've tried to follow all the rules of the site to properly acclimate my BP and let me just say I'm glad I did. It was a struggle to go 3 weeks w/o contact but it's really paying off now.
After the 3 week period, I was extremely worried about handling him. Worried that I may get bitten, etc.... I must of watched 100 videos on youtube and asked a million questions on here on the subject but it wasn't until that one thread where I truly became educated on reading the signs your BP puts out. That thread boosted my confidence so much that I'm now happily enjoying all the interactions w/ my BP and I can really tell a difference in his confidence and willingness to allow me to pick him up and hold him.
