    Do all snakes need about a week undisturbed?

    I was wondering if it is good practice to leave all new snakes alone for about a week or so, or is it only bp's thanks.

    I like to leave any new ones alone for a week just so they can get used to their new homes.

    I've always one it whether it was a ball python, a boa or the milksnake. I just figure any snake would need a bit of time to settle into a totally foreign and new environment so why not give them the chance. It can't hurt and it may well help.

    Yep, I do the same for my corns as well as BPs and it's just good business.
    Leaving them be lets them get to know their new home. They learn that home is safe and secure, which gives them that desire to return to their hides they need when you're trying to put them back. And it's just better for them.
