Signs of stress during handling?
I am wondering what are the various signs that a BP is stressed during handling. I'm well aware of the aggressive ones and fleeing, but are there non-aggressive signs to look for as well?

:sarcasm:I bet its the non! I understand the aggression part, but are there signs that lead up to it.

Makes sense, it seem like mine coils tightly around me at first, but then reduces the force enough to not fall off. For some odd reason she prefers being coiled around my neck, and refuses to move elsewhere.

Lol, very true, but that would not bother me one bit. Wouldn't be the first time I've been dreched in another animal's bodily fluids.
