Thanks Joe,

That is just what I was looking for. I understand that it is always possible to get bitten (I have been bitten a couple of times over the past 15 years...LOL) but I was just wanting to know what to expect if I go down this road. I appreciate the input and, just so you know, yours are some of the animals that have been posted that have been tempting me.

>>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.
