Any ideas on how/if to leash train a B&W? Should I start now (5 months old) or wait until he adds a few pounds? Any info on how to do this or what type of harness to use? Any info would be appreciated...

We use these, except for our largest critters. http://www.reptilesupply.com/index.php?cName=Leashes+&+Harnesses&cPath=122

You may have to desensitize him to it by showing it to him, laying it on him, slowly putting it over his head. Or just bite the bullet and put it on!! He'll probably thrash and deathroll for a while. You'll lose his trust a bit but he needs to wear a leash if he's going out of the house.

Yeah I think I'll just go for it. He's actually pretty tame (compared to some other babies I know) so it shouldn't be that bad.
