Just kidding! Great picture! You should submit it in the BPOM! I don't think I'll ever have a pic like that of Kash. But hey, I'll take the relaxed boy that I have!

Yea, at first I wished mine was relaxed more, but I'm gaining some confidence as she slowly is becoming more relaxed.

I'm also curious about this water bottle trick.

Well tonight it was time for handling session #3. No incidents! No hisses and no nervousness even! Guess what...EVEN MY WIFE HELD HER! She said her fear on a scale of 1-10 was at a 7, but she still braved it out (with her gloves on) and still did it! MAJOR ACCOMPLISHEMENT! A'Kashja is settling in fine and I'm so happy. Everyone's tips and Adam's massive amount of knowledge is really paying off. I'm loving this ball python thing! Its very rewarding when you see them thrive and become accustomed to human contact without fearing fearful and realizing that you mean them no harm.

I'm stoked!!!!

That's awesome Bryce! :clap: Glad to hear things are coming along so well, this quickly. :D

Keep it up Bryce, it'll be second nature to the both of you pretty soon!
