Sooo off topic, but Rachmaninoff would be a great name for an african rock python, dontcha think? =)

I usually just pick up Bauhamat and just hold her in my hands, let her slither about. Strangely, she always manages to go right up on my face and stick her tongue in my nose. :weirdface

Ooh.. gotta remember that..

lol, yeah it can be a very nice name :)
btw when its time for handling and its hiding inside "like most of the time" it doesn't harm her just to remove the hiding and take her slowly .. right?

Rick and I have had pretty good success with carefully removing her hide (slowly lifting it straight up) and then giving her few minutes, reach in and stroke her gently (on a coil away from her head) and then gently picking her up by a coil that is away from her head, talking to her the whole time (not that she can hear us, but hey...seems comforting!).

lol, true, personally i believe all animals have brains and they can understand us "call me crazy". well, i usually remove the hide carefully but i dont leave her for few minutes. but i think i will. thanx for the information :)
