so, once you've been through difficulties... then you tend to take your husbandry issues regarding your snakes more seriously. for example, i've never had any RI with my snakes... so when the temps drop a bit... i correct them but i don't panic... cause i've never had a sick snake... if i did have a sick snake like many members here... i'd be much more neurotic over those issues.

so, in answer to your questions. i never handle a snake for at least the first week... often the first month (to let them settle in nicely) - i never hold them on feeding day and i never ever ever ever ever hold a snake for 3 days after feeding and if i see a lump in their belly... they are returned to their enclosure and not bothered again.

just my opinion... don't take mine, make your own!
