    Shaky Hands??

    Probably a dumb question, but I have very shaky hands. All the men on my dad's side of the family have shaky hands, and with my asthma meds, it only makes it worse. It's definitely not fear of the snake LOL!!!

    Question is, do you guys think it affects the snake when I hold it?? I can see his head shaking up and down quite a bit. When I hold my friends adult female, it does not seem to bother her, but I think her added weight helps in taking away some of the shakyness. (not a real word I know) I don't want to give Eugen shaken baby syndrome or something.

    They should be fine. I know someone else who has shakey hands, and he doesn't seem to have any problems with his animals acting any differently.
