Well, she let me handle her today. When I went to clean out her water dish, she was already there at the front watching me and when I put my hand in, she just crawled right on. So, I decided to hold her for a few minutes since she chose and I didn't feel like I was forcing her. She didn't seem scared at all really! She just wanted to walk through my hands and check me out! So, I held her for about 5 minutes or so while she walked through my hands before I replaced her. She didn't want to leave my hands though! During that time, I took her out to the grass for a quick photo shoot (she was out of her cage 5-6 minutes max). She was in the grass for just over a minute because I didn't want to stress her. I got quite a few photos but that's because I just kept snapping them nonstop without checking them out, figured I'd get a few good ones! I also took a photo of her next to a measuring tape so hopefully someone can tell me what size food to snag for her on Tuesday? Normally I never handle my snakes for the minimum of 7 days but she came to me today and I watched for any signs of stress. Yes, in two of the photos she does have an S-neck but that's her first time ever in grass and those are DIRECTLY after being set down. So, without further ado, here is Mandy's first photoshoot in the grass!

So, what size should I be feeding her, you think?
Note: The light makes her back looks white, it's like a caramel color
