So, little Willow is 2.5 months old (considered a juvenile I guess?)
Anyway, we got her last Friday and will be attempting a feed this coming Sunday. We are going to wait to hold her until she's had a meal and digested.
My adult female came to us as an adult and was used to being handled. She wasn't nervous at all. Willow, on the other hand, backs away when we stop by her tank to see how she's doing. She seems very, very nervous, and that's understandable.
I'm wondering, does anyone have any tips or tricks on how to properly get a baby used to being held, so it causes them the least amount of stress? (How often and for how long.) I get that with adults, it's dependant on the snake and it's personality, but for a baby who's never really been held, it may be different.)
