    when to handle baby balls ?
    i had my first hatch labor day , they are on a steady feeding . Is there a certain time of handling them before i sell them . So they are used to be being handled .

    My best advice to you would be give them as much time as you think they need to settle in, maybe wait until they've eaten at least five meals and then handle in short intervals. Like maybe 5-10 minutes every other day, and then gradually increase as they get more used to you.

    Congrats, and I third the request for pictures!

    it really depends on the snake, some don't care, some are shy as can be. shy ones obviously less time out in a less stressful environment.

    We leave them alone until the shed for the first time and eat once then handle them like we do all the other bp's we have. Of course if you want to sell them as pets you need to handle them more so they are use to it. You wont hurt them, they are tuff little things. Congrats!!
