Hehe - as adults they'll def need all the support you can give em in the lifting, heck at 18" our black blood is girthy enough I don't like lifting him with a single hand, but he's uber-friendly and will just chill and slowly investigate you. Our reds on the other hand are a bit snappier, the young male has to be taken out with a hook and then transfered to hand but he needs some work as he's easily provoked, Kali the female is getting a lot better but she is still unforgiving of rapid movements near her or having anything looming above her (can't blame her I'm the same way until I gets me coffee).
