Yowza Ha ha haa..it is truly the freakiest thing I ever did! I doubt I'll be kissing it "Goodnite!"
I also got an adult one of these yesterday, too...

He's friendly & cute..just like me!
You pick it up about a foot from the tail. It wraps around yer arm pretty tight. Sorta like a semi-firm handshake.
Its all muscle & you kinda let it go/do what it wants in your hands.
They originate from northern Mexico.
It eats one adult mouse/week & I keep it in a 30 gallon tank with a super-secured lid..
At least they don't bark....I named the snake "Cuddles"...
