Thanks Jenn It's funny because my biggest fear is actually not handling him enough and thinking he'd then start to not like being held LOL.

I think I will cut to 2 times a week and short sessions and see how he does then. When I put him on my lap, usually within a minute or so he takes off cruising somewhere or attempts too. So I was thinking maybe he just doesn't enjoy being held OR he's stressed being handled OR he is just extremely nosey LOL.

I fed him successfully again today (he's on a 10 day schedule) so I will wait 2 days and then cut down to shorter handling sessions twice a week for awhile and see how he does

FYI: Feeding him today was hilarious because he didn't strike last time at all (very first feed by me). I swear I actually saw him snuggle with the F/T rat last time LOL. Anywho, I had never seen a snake strike and coil before so boy was I suprised when he did within about 5 seconds of me dangling the rat with tongs LMAO. I'm not gonna lie, I'm shocked I didn't have to change my pants
