I did it!!!
Went in and picked Ace up. No tail rattling this time but he was very jumpy, probably cause i was jumpy.
Only kept him out for a few minutes, then he decided he didnt want to go back in?!
Finally got him in the tank (as opposed to round the tank, on top of the tank) and he flew into his hidey hole super fast!

OMG l'm still shaking, l know i sound like such a silly cow but had got into a bit of a state over the whole thing.

Cant thank you all enough for being so encouraging and for just being here. If for else to be able to tell someone my snake had a poo. Lol

He's due fed on suday so will give him till after that till l handle him again. He seems to be a bit happier now, has been coming out to explore and stuff.

woo hoo and its friday!!!

Well done, as everyone says it will get easier and you will wonder what all the fuss was about.

Everyone is a little unsure that very first time lol. Congratulations, it will just be a doddle from now on. Now you can go down to a reptile shop and scoop up their biggest snake, Boas are fun but for weight go for a Burmese Python
