Just to show we all suffer from a moment of madness this is me many years ago. I don't condone or encourage it, quite frankly it's crazy and saying you trust the owner means nothing, I doubt he was going to bite you.

andrew | Hey, the hand-cave is catching on! I love it! Coco Grace (freaky little Oops) does too. The minute she goes in now she relaxes and falls asleep.
Sorry for going off topic, but I have nothing much to say about free-handling vens. Like rock climbing with no ropes... during an earthquake. I don't get it.

It was a very long time ago though, they were fashionable then, honest. Quote: |

is that you boa in that picture? Quote: |

| well it would work with the vens. basically: your smell = safety, which would seriously help if you are trying to have a ven that you can free handle. also just wondering did you cool the vens befor handling them? i know if i am handling my python if he had been in the cold areas hes alot easier to handle unlike when hes in the hot areas and hes really alert!
only problem with the cupped hand thing with a newly hatched ven is what if it desides to bite the sides of its strangely warm cave?
