as you all know, my baby BP, rex, has been snapping at me even when i walk by the tank. well, good news. he just got out of shed, which was perfect, the other day. yesterday, i wanted to start handling him again so i decided to try and wait till nightfall. so night came, and i made my way up to my room. i removed his hide box where he was hiding. i slowly reach my hand into his tank and picked him right up. he didnt even snap at me once! so i had him out about 5min then put him away. during the 5min, i sat down and sat him on my lap. he just layed there, flickering his toung. well, i decided to do the same thing today. i got him out, he didnt snap at me at all again, and he was really calm. i sat on my floor, holding him in my hand. he was balled up, but really calm. he eventually moved his head out a little bit, and started flickering his toung. i kept him out for about 7min, then put him away. hes starting to trust me more. i owe everything to you guys, without all your help, i would be totally lost. thanks for all your help and advice. :wink:
