Cool thanks for the help! I'll follow those guidelines then. I did see the picture of the BP yawning, thats amazing.

I'll be very wary if it ever does hiss at me. I read the only time pythons get relatively snippy is when they're shedding. I'll try handling him tomorrow then, the mouse should be digested by then hopefully.

Thanks again for your help, looks like I'll make this my permanent home for info.
