Meet the gang!

This may change for her as she matures. I think you are right by limiting her handling.
Keep up the good work.

I don't handle any of them too much. Crazy babies like Snap get held more often then not, but Snap really seems to enjoy it after being a drama queen for 10 minutes. All the others don't seem to mind it too much when I pick them up, but if they don't seem to want to be held, I leave them alone. Mama's the only one who doesn't fuss when I hold her a lot, but she's always been a good cuddly garter. She really loves lounging around on my shoulder, I think that's the only thing she ever does.

Good for her and you.

Mama's such a tame cuddle bug.
She's watching Back to the future with me, she's happily sleeping in my hand and enjoying a neck rub. She;s been in my hand from the first movie, to now, half way through the second movie. I love how cuddly and sweet she is, none of my others would lay in my hand so calmly and watch movies with me.

Those special ones come into our lives. I have a number of adult radixes that are like that.
I do believe they enjoy the interaction.
Keep up the good work, Chantel.

Yeah, she seemed to enjoy it. When I had to move her she just looked up at me like "Hey! I was just getting comfortable!" then she pooped on me That's one way I know when she's thanking me for the warm area. She did the same thing in my shirt a while back. It's always great to know that they really appreciate me keeping them warm.

Poop kisses

Tiny has a bit of a problem. He went opaque 4 days ago and left it 2 days ago. I was checking on all of them and I noticed his skin looked crinkly. Could he have retained his shed? He looks normal when he's straight, but if he bends it gets all crinkly. I got a picture of it and its a little bit hard to see, Tiny didn't appreciate me picking him up and checking him out.

Could be time for a shed box.

I tried something similar with Snap when she retained some shed on her neck. I don't have a 5 quart icecream container, but I have a popcorn bowl with a lid that I could use. Shortly after posting this I checked on Tiny in the middle of exercising and he got some of the shed off, but he's having trouble with it, so I'll go ahead and let him have some spa treatment
