But with this extra growth I've had to adapt my style of handling with her. She used to be content curling up on my hand and having a little nose around, but with her size has come confidence, and now she does things like reaching out into the air with half her body length, and generally proving a bit more of a handful than before. Has anyone got any hints on handling larger snakes? Ie, kings and so on? She's at the size now where she can do a single wrap to hold on, and then a good 3ft of her just goes wherever she pleases!! Secondly, apologies for my absence, have been jobhunting like mad, and have finally landed a role and Principal Product Designer for a startup technology firm locally.. *Sigh of relief!!* The MD was from the US actually, VP for a companny called TekScan if any of you guys have heard of it.. Anyway I hope to get back into the swing of things here!! [:D] [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature.
