    lol. We were feeding fuzzies, now we've switched to something bigger. I kept reaching into the pet store box trying to grab the mouse, but I jumped everytime she jumped. My boyfriend thought i was crazy. I have no problem with the bp, but the mouse makes me jump. lol.

    That's pretty much exactly what I was going to say.

    Good job on the successful handling session Bobbi! I'm sure you'll soon find yourself looking back thinking how silly you were to be wearing gloves, but in the meantime, don't be embarrassed to use them until you feel comfortable without them. It is better for both you & the snake if you feel calm & confident.

    Kevlar gloves... I gotta get me one. The venom on my hognose, man.

    BP owner since Oct 2008, so yeah, I'm no expert.

    1.0.0 spider bp

    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"

    Agreed, getting bit by a snake is nothing compared to a rat or mouse bit.
