As some of you know, I have a single, tiny baby sirtalis that is about 2 months old. He has been growing well, but I haven't held him much. He's just too small and quick!!

Anyway, yesterday I tried to poke/pick him up a bit- only to be musked/peed on ....I'm glad to know his natural defense mechanisms are intact, but I would like to start "taming" the little guy. It was much easier for my female, since she was a sub-adult to start off with. I don't want handling session to cause too much stress and adversely affect his health. So do I wait until he's bigger or is it better to start young?
