Hard Question

[beaniesmommy]

I agree with at least one thing in all of these posts...

We are not excessive holders, we hold them when we clean there tanks, feeding day and when a friend comes over and wants to hold one in an attempt to rid there fear. I understand it stresses them and we respect that as much as we can.

We do love them and this whole thing is still new to us so of course there is still a bit of novelty to these beautiful creatures. I think I have decited that I am going to let him go and get two same sex babies. For a family like ours (with lots of kids around always) we would enjoy seeing them grow up in front of us, for educational and personal enjoyment of course.

Thank you for all of your input, I really do respect all of your opinions!

We are not excessive holders!

Now, now, now... I intend to hold as you [all] term "excessively." Daily if I can, but I've not been able to. Also, I don't want to disturb unneccesarily. I tend to wait until The Boys are 'up' on something or the substrate. Unfortunately, that reinforces the behavior I don't want from them, to hide.

But what I'm doing is feeding when I take out and hold. Holding = food. Workin' on it! LOL!

Got Peepers out tonite and he wrapped around me like my finger was the muzzle of fox! Musked and then pooed! Ish! Wiped his butt and my hand and fed him a fish. Oh! Well! Maybe this holding AIN'T so bad! LOL!!! And he went on to eat two pieces of worm. What a silly boy! Then put him back in the tank. He's zzzzz'ing out.

Jeepers? No way could I entice him to eat. Worm guts, poo, blood - he wanted no part o'it. Skinny ****. I'll try again tomorrow. He's not so easy to feed. He doesn't eat alot. Peepers will eat until he pukes; but not Jeepers. He was full yesterday - couldn't even waddle! We'll see with him tomorrow.

Gosh, I love these guys! They are so pretty and sweet! Smiles, shoe-button eyes, GREAT colors!

My Boys. The BEST there are!
