handling progress
today i decided to just grab my boy out, he done his usual hiss thing but as soon as i got hold of him and had him in hand, he settled right down and just relaxed on my palm.
im very happy of this much progress and even though i know he will never get as calm as the boa but at least hes on his way to making a much better family pet

Re: handling progress
Did he move about in your hands or just curl up? His head looks a little flattened in that pic so he was probably still very scared. It just takes time and patience and don't over do it at first.
I'm 8 weeks in with my boy now and he's great. Wont be long before your boy will be slithering around all over your hands and you can great pics like this..... 
Sorry, any excuse to show this cute little guy off!!
Oh and he will become very calm. Much calmer than a boa! Hoggies are really sociable little snakes and when your boas a huge grumpy monstor you will be glad you have this little guy

Re: handling progress
another update for ya, getting him out every night so far and its getting easier, we have an understanding with each other now, i dont try to handle him during the day and he stays soft without fuss for handling during the evening instead, hes a star during evening handling and he lets me know when he wants to go back in his viv by rattling which is good

Being slightly plump, bald and in a wheelchair part time i can totally relate to Andy!! We saw them do their live show and it was SOOO much funnier than the series - a number of prop errors occurred on the night we were there and they just blended them in to the funniness - made you realise they are genuinely funny and its not all just scripted.
