    She's noticeably bigger & stronger now than when first hatched...I'd have to guess (since I didn't weigh her immediately) that she weighed in about 8-9 grams then.

    And yeah, that's why I haven't done much handling of Milagro yet...colubrids can be SO tiny & delicate, it's best to let them grow for a while first. Just now handled her easily-she's never tried to bite, but she is prone to suddenly bolting out of your hands if you don't know what you're doing. Fortunately I've had tons of practice with hatchling corns, rat snakes & kings, etc. It takes a light touch to keep them calm, & they're best handled over soft territory (like a bed) just in case.
