I show my reptiles love with clean enclosures/tubs, clean water, and regular feeding schedules. Hope that helps!
Me too, but I have less than 20 right now. Cleaning tubs and watering is about the only time I really handle them. I try not to handle them on feeding day, they seem to know that day very well and will and have struck at me on that special day.
