lol i feel dumb with the gloves, but gives me overall confidence, i never been bit so i dont know what to expect... lol, and i got the name from the show Dexter, on showtime

i was told the same thing... but i will love mine no less... very beautiful snake really! how much did you get it for?

same here, i dont care if he browns out, still a pastel... and i got mine at a heck of a deal.. it was originally $150, at a store, but they said that it wasnt a pastel and would have a hard time selling it for that... so they marked it like a normal, i got it for $60 and i am %100 posative it is a pastel..

Good luck, hope he settles quickly, be a shame to hold a snake that pretty with an oven mit for long:P

lol hes getting there, if hes in the sticking position, i will give him a lil spritz of water, then i pick him up... not sure if that "cruel" or not, but its working lol

Don't worry about wearing the gloves if you're unsure of how the bite is. I've been bitten a couple of times by my oldest. It's more of a shock than anything. Like little pin pricks all at once.

Nice looking snake, BTW.

haha thanks.. im sure it wont hurt, i have been bit by a 180+ lb Rottweiller. (my fault) in the had/wrist area and broke a finger by it!! lol so im sure a lil bite by a baby BP wont hurt, its just going to be the initial schock and im scared ill pull away and hurt her teeth...
