holding a hatchling

[Carrie]

I have only just had my two corns my first was about 5-6 months old when I got him 2 weeks ago, I have just bought another one on Saturday he is only about 6weeks old I have left him alone for three days so I thought it was time to handle him the trouble is he is so small about 8-10 inches long like an over grown worm, what is the best way to pick him up and hold him as I don't want to hurt or drop him I picked him up very carefully but he was so fat I put him straight back again, any advice would be great please. Thanks..

Try and pick him up real gentle. Try and hold him close to the groung or a surface incase he falls from your hands, he is not far from the ground, and will not get hurt.

Do not squeeze him to tight either,

Hope this helps a bit, just relax and everthing will be fine.:w

Yep, just scoop him up gently and hold him in your hand, let him slither off if he wants. He'll get used to it!
