Congrats man!!
I have always had a fear myself.. was in a reptile store a couple months back and they had hundreds and hundreds of T's. In Lodi, Ca. The lady working there convinced my to just "pet" one of them on the underside of him and I was sooo amazed how friggin' soft he/she was! Velvety soft actually, almost somewhat soothing to an extent.
Like B said... someday, maybe someday.. lol
