    Talking Tomorrow..

    ..would be my third day having the new Hog. Would it be alright if I handle the Hog a bit tomorrow? Since I'm also going to get some pics of him to show you guys :]. Or should I wait another day or so to handle him? Plus on Thursday I'm going to feed him to get him caught up with my snake feeding schedule. Every Thursday my mom takes me to her work for a few hours, go to the reptile store we get our feeders at, and right when I get home its off to thaw them out. I would only handle him a little bit tomorrow, since he's still getting used to his new home. Though, I do want him to get to know my scent. And I would let anyone else handle him just because my neighbors (who are my some of my best buds, and are brother and sister) can sometimes get a little rough when they hang out with me because they can be hyper and jump around my room. They just don't really get it when I say stop jumping around I have snake tanks in here and if you break it your giving me money to get another lol.. especially the guy (he's so dang hyper, never sits down for two seconds..).

    God totally! It's soooo hard not to handle that cute little thing :[. The funny thing is, I didn't really know that your not supposed to handle snakes right after you get them and you should wait at least a few days to handle a while AFTER I purchased my first BP/python. When I purchased Candice, all I could do was handle her. Now that I look at it, she was probably greatly stressed, but now she actually enjoys being handled :].

    Yeah, maybe a few more days would be a good thing. I know the "hands off" time can be tough, but try to stick it out.

    I just can't help it since it's new. Just like when I was my first iPod or my first phone.. I just was glued to it. Now, I still kinda am to both. And also, I'm still excited to handle Candice each day.
