Ding she looking good and getting bigger. About how long is she now?

I know a guy who wears the latex gloves when handling babies. He said if they bite they will only do it a couple times as they don't like the taste. He swore it was the easiest way to break them of biting when handle. In his 9 years of breeding he only been bit once by a snake over 6 months old.

I personally don't like gloves even with a bitey snake. You just don't have as much control over the snake when handling.

True but with babies it makes it hard to tell if i am holding them to tight. I have a bad habit of not knowing my own strength and i am afraid of hurting them.
