@BeautyEnhancements4U do i? oh. thats a mistake then..... O_O .... xD lol

[BeautyEnhancements4U]

@ImpalerGirl I'm sure you wouldn't... you sound lovely!! :)))

[ImpalerGirl]

@BeautyEnhancements4U yes. ikr. also, mine, Jagger, i went to pick him up to examine him and he didnt mind at all but i put him back after a minute or two just incase. but since they are technically blind during the shedding proccess, their other senses enhance. so they get around mostly by smell. he knows MY scent, very very well. so i dont see how thats a problem. he knows id never hurt him. :)

@ImpalerGirl He looks happy though x x x

@BeautyEnhancements4U I dont recall saying I was an expert but if you think I am, thank you! I'm flattered :) Angry? You're giving yourself way to much credit. Sorry I'm more mature than you and I don't see the point in getting angry over youtube conversations with stupid people. You're opinion changes nothing. I will still have my pets and hold them whenever I see fit. Get over it. So if you'd like to continue to argue go right ahead but that only proves how pathetic and bored you are.

@BeautyEnhancements4U im sure she knows what shes doing, calm down.
