The way I handled my female is I went an run a nice luke warm bath first!An then after getting nailed really good,I went an got one of the old lady's dish towels an tossed it over her head,an then got a hold of her an took her to the tub for a bath,an done the best that I could to get all of the after birth an what not off of her an put her in another enclosier an tossed her a rat[Not as large as what she was eating before she became gravid but larger than the ones she was eating while gravid!You will notice that she will still show some agresiveness for a couple of days but she will go back to herself!An then you can take care of the babies!Hope this helps,Others may have an easier way but thats how I done it!Eric[Hypoboa]
