Yes, I do have a second person that will supervise and help when it is handled. I also know that a 12 foot snake isn't a joke (not met to sound rude or anything at all.) I was just curious because I had seen it done and the retic still looked healthy and such. I in no way intend on doing anything that would cause the animals harm or any problems. I had been looked at super dwarfs, but when I saw this it sparked my interest.
