Can your 8 footer do this?

**Gio** · 08-20-2018, 03:46 PM

I had a really nice handling session with Wallace yesterday evening.

He actually came out of the cage easily for once and I must say for his size, he was pretty easy to handle.

At 8 feet or more he's still capable of being a "One Hander".

Not too bad Buddy! Just a little more tight on the squeeze these days because of his size. Arm and fingers turning a bit purple, but how else is he supposed to hang on LOL!

Rainbow out grew one handed holding a couple of months ago. LOL. He looks great. Looks like a gauntlet for a cool RPG. LOL.

We did it again tonight!

Back to back smooth handling sessions.

I'm very happy with his over demeanor as of late, because not long ago I was starting to question whether or not I made the right choice in getting him. His growth has slowed almost to a stop, which is another factor that I was starting to worry about.

If I were asked tonight about what I thought of him, and pressed to evaluate having him, I'd say perfect!

He looks good! My purple Sonny rarely lets me use just one hand. Usually he is pretty good about holding my leg or waist and letting me guide him with one hand. But no dice on a tight one hand coil

Good to hear dude! I’m always back and forth with with Gerald on the handling situation. More often than not he’s down right annoying. I’ve found recently though that he’s much calmer when I just sit on the floor with him. He’ll casually explore the room and not dart around and clamp down on things how he does when he’s on my arms/shoulders/waist/legs. He really seems to need a strong sense of stability when out of the enclosure. I wonder if his climbing options in the 6footer soon will help build some confidence in that regard

My burm just hit 8 foot and he is still One-Handable. The only problem is that he Never squeezes so it is REALLY hard for me to do Hahaha.
