Hope you can take a quick picture of the little snake before you tuck him away for his first quiet week at your home. We'd love to see him!
Oh just noticed you are from Illinois! Will you and your husband be attending the NARBC show this October (October 7 & 8)?

Thanks for the compliment!!!! We fell in love, and he is not our first exotic animal by a long shot. We have 11 parrots, a rabbit, a chinchilla, a few rats, 19 tarantulas, a hingeback tortiose, and fish. We actually had planned a snake for late this summer. (I want a lavender ghost corn, from a specific breeder and have to wait until then to get one) My husband just said a couple of days ago he wanted a ball python, I said sure, we went to pick up crickets for my tarantulas at the reptile store, saw our little boy, and the rest is history.
I don't know, I didn't know the show was happening until you mentioned it. We can certainly try!!! It sounds very interesting.
Re: What is the best way to handle?
Seems like there may be a fair few folks from BPNet going (started a thread specifically about the NARBC show in Chicago in October so you can keep checking there). It'll be fun to meet some BPNet folks there and sharing the bibs as we all drool over the gorgeous snakes (or Adam :) ).
We are thinking of getting a chinchilla at some point so I'll be bugging you for major info on them down the road. Found what appears to be a good breeder not far from Toledo, OH.

Be sure to check the calendar at the bottom of the the main forums - and feel free to add to it! There are reptile shows almost every weekend somewhere! =)
Re: What is the best way to handle?
just as a little bit of new snake advice. When you finally do take him home, give him a couple days to settle into the new place. Snakes are like people in that sense, after they move they are still a bit stressed out and need a little while to settle in and be totally comfortable in their new home.
Just a little tip that i found helpful, good luck with him!!!! may he have a long happy life with you two
