clean snake,dirty room

Heh. I tried feeding Roo and Vash in separate tanks, they just looked at me funny like "Oh my god, where's my tree?!?! I want my box back! Why is it so white in here? Where did my box go? MOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!!!!"
After that, I just let them eat in their tanks. I check daily for waste but my substrate doesn't hide much in the way of poopies/pee nuggets.

ha--they were traumatized by the glaring white rubbermaid! they can be so funny sometimes. 8)

No other snake in captivity has such a spread in terms of temperment as ball pythons do. Each one really is an individual in terms of personality.

I just wait a day or more after feeding, before handling. I'd never handle one of them just after eating.

HAHAHAHA I can relate to the room issue nice snake though My snake has never had a issue with handling after she eats I usually wait about a hour or at max a day hasnt stopped eating yet though.

You handle your snakes an hour after they've eaten? You really should leave them be for a day or two at least before handling. You don't want to stress them out and have them regurgitate their meal, which isn't good for their digestive system.

I always give my bp ample time to digest before I start handling sessions again. I feed her around 9pm every friday, and leave her digest all weekend, then start handling her like usual on monday. Haven't had a problem yet.

I have even let Spazz roam around my room after eating.... Forgot about her and found her in my pillow case.

You should really keep an eye on what you're doing when you have a snake out...

Um, You shouldn't be handling your snake at feeding.

What kind of box do you people use? Size? w/lid or not? I have only fed mine in their cages.
