I do agree with your advice Spaniard regarding observing the snakes behaviour. I was intent on handling him 2 days after feeding but now I think I will wait for 3. Also I was beginning the handling phase for 5 minutes. I need to spend more time handling him so I will bumb it up to 15.

digcolnagos, thanks for your words of encouragement. Is there really such thing as handling a BP too much. I plan on handling my snake for hours.:partyon:

Man I love this community and my new family member. Thanks all for your words of encouragement and advice. Any additional recommendations.

Oh, one more thing. Is it a good idea to feed 2 mice fuzzies at once or 1 adult mice. Instead of mice fuzzies shoud I be feeding rat fuzzies. Also Im feeding the fuzzies live, the only reason is because I know they can't harm my pet at such a young age so thats why I do that.

Yup there is such thing as too much handling. But then again depends on the snake. There will come a time when your snake is fasting or has refused a few meals where handling certainly isn't going to help the situation. Its up to us to realize where to draw the line.
