Rainbow is in her hide quick question?

[Skyrivers]

Should I wait until she comes out to try to handle her? I'm hoping she comes out later today I just don't want to startled her.

Is this the snake you just got ???

you really shouldn’t be handling at all...

let her settle. Let her start feeding regularly then handle.

Too much handling too soon is gonna stress your girl

You only fed her yesterday and about 12 hours ago !!!

I leave mine at least 48 hours sometimes longer ....

Like others have said .. take it easy .

I'd get the eye / shed sorted out .... plus wait another feed even two before even considering handling ..

Some wait three weeks just to let them settle .

If it's new, let it settle in. Otherwise, i always lift Caesar's hide off him during the day if i need to get to him. Sometimes he is ok with that, other times he will shove my hand away like crazy. It's the equivalent of 'just a little more sleep, dad!!' response lol.

yeah he just got her 3/21 and fed her 3/22 (you replied in his progression thread: https://ball-pythons.net/forums/show...on-progression)


Skyrivers, I agree with the others, let her settle in for a bit please.

Yeah not sure why i even typed 'if its new' lol. At least she ate the day after. Thats a good sign. Caesar ate within 2 hours of being unboxed but Kris at Vital Exotics also told me he was a garbage can that ate anything anytime......and my wallet knows that first hand now haha.

I think we all understand your eagerness to hang with your new retic, but you have to make sure your excitment does not overide your better judgement, especially when it comes to your snake's general well being and health.

Be patient, snakes will live a long time and you will have plenty of time to handle your new girl after she's fully settled. Just remember to take things slow.
