just a few quick Q&A

Question #1 lol
So I got a ball python love it took a long time to research and always have to ask the same questions as I want to provide the best housing, food, care I can give.

Here is the question

How long after getting your Ball python till it is okay to handle it once it is in its new home and environment? And, does size and age contribute to this also as I have a baby?

Question #2

Do you add any extra vitamins or dust frozen feeders for the snakes and if so what and how often?

thanks kindly,

Lance

How old is it? You should give it at least a min. of 5 days to settle in

No just feed it the appropiate sized rodent

thanks kindly,

For the first 5-7 days don't handle it. Just make sure it has clean water and leave it alone. After 5-7 days offer it a meal. If it eats, it will be ok to start handling 2 days later. I wouldn't handle it until it eats for you. Some snakes may need a few more days to adjust and get comfortable....

not sure of age breeder is emailing all the information on hatch date.
