[QUOTE="LazarusMantid, post: 295473, member: 9215"] And yes! You can handle them pretty much as often as you want. I like to do it almost every day. Unless they've had a big meal the day before. I try to not disturb them for a day after they've eaten or let them stay out after they eat for a few hours then let them go to sleep. They're very relaxed and sedate after they eat and will often fall asleep after a time. Or maybe not sleep. I don't know if they sleep but they go into a period of rest where they become less aware and still. My H. Venosa will go to sleep right away but my Ghost doesn't sleep nearly as much. Not sure if it's because she's so much smaller or what but yeah. TL;DR You can pretty much take them out all the time! They are very gentle and sweet and the way to get them to go where you want is to gently poke their back knee so they walk. Try not to touch their abdomens as it can spook them and they might run. OH! And yes it's totally normal for them to sit for hours and hours without moving. Don't EXPECT them to move unless you are making them and you have them out or they are eating. Otherwise they will relax upside down. [/QUOTE]
