They're mighty hard to "ruin"...so I wouldn't say you've "blown it." However, it would be in the snake's best interest to leave them completely alone for at least a full week, even if you've already spent some time handling. You should not start regular handling sessions until the snake has eaten at least once for you.

Thanks for the advice. I will leave him be until his next feeding.


BTW - the pet shop indicated he last ate this past friday. Should I wait just a full week or should I give him a few extra days before I try to feed him?
