: I really want to carry my "Bicho" with me more often. He was not very tame when I rescued him. But he has never bitten me as his former owners say that he did with them. I read that several people use Crown Royal bags or other similar "pouches". I am always so worried that he won't be getting enough air to breath. I guess I am relating it to my own experience of not being able to sleep with even as little as a sheet over my face without feeling like I'm suffocating. Sooooooo...is it necessary to have a pouch with neting or airholes of some sort or am I just over-worried? He doesn't like pockets either.

I use a sleeve from an old sweatshirt that I cut off, then used a plastic wire tie to close the small end. I've never had any problem with her needing to escape the pouch for a breath of fresh air. However many people sell pouches made with mesh and velcro and all that good stuff. If it bothers you a great deal it may be worth getting one of these, even if just for your piece of mind.
