Hi Rob,

I think your understanding is correct. While I do think it is a good idea to handle them in an effort to calm them down, it may not be practical depending on the size of your collection. In our experience about 98% of Hondurans will calm down quite a bit during their first 2 years without much handling. I have never been bitten by an adult Honduran and we do not spend a great deal of time handling them because of numbers we have. This does not mean that it can not happen. I hope this helps.

Thanks!
