My little sister has been afraid to hold willie since I got him. But today, something was different. I was cleaning out his cage and she asked if she could help by holding him while i did it, after having him for a couple months i had gotten good at one-handed cleaning, but i figured this was a one time chance to get her to like him. After i was done ( it took no time at all because he has not left me the brown package yet ) i tool him back to feed him and when he was done she IMMEDIATELY asked if she could hold him again. What? I told her no, since he had to bask. Then i asked if she liked him now. She said YES! So then I asked if she wanted a beardie and she said "no, too much work, I'll just hold yours." This day was just too funny.
