i loath feeding time
I love feeding my snakes, i like seeing them plump and happy.... what i dont like is not being able to hold them after because i swear thats when peach decided to act the cutest... peach just sits in her hid and stick part of her fave or her whole head out and just falllows me And stares at me that way ball pythons.... and bowser just draps him self over bis branch like a piece of laundry with his butt hanging off one side and his head just resting on the floor....saturday cant come soon enough... anyone else feel like this
-
I have a love/hate relationship with feeding time. I do love the fact that it keeps my boy healthy, content and satiated, BUT I do hate the fact that after being fed he's completely in hiding for the next 3-4 days, never to be seen or handled. Haha. Makes me feel kinda used sometimes...

You can always get one more and then just feed them on different days so you'd always have a snake to hold.:D It's nice to play with them once in a while but to me it's a lot more interesting and relaxing to observe their fluid movement.

Mr. Misha, first it's one snake...then two...then three...then more and more! I know the pattern and that's how it starts :P! In fact, I'm actually thinking of getting a GTP, but obviously that doesn't help the handling situation lol.

Yea, GTP probably wouldn't be the best snake to play with. Though two BPs isn't that bad. Doesn't mean you need to go crazy getting a BP every week. Or maybe you might want to look into a Boa. Male Boas don't get as large as females and are very active.

Yeah, idk why the fascination with the green tree "stones" lol (partly joking :P). But I've honestly yet to look into boas, and I'm definitely open to these beautiful creatures.

yeah want a few more snakes certainly getting a few More ball pythons, i want a jungle carpet python.... and what kind of snake lover would i be without boa, something on the small side as much as i would love a big ole snake, but thats alot of resposibility and i wanna get alot of expierence under my belt before even thinking about something big.... wanna try and stay 7-8ft max
-
the guy i bought bowser tank off of had 3 green tree pythons, first thing i saw and said when i walked into his snake room were thise big beautiful green beast.. even got to hold one... after he showed me how agressive the other 2 could be, but she was calm like my ball python. this guy also breed carpet pythons and thats where i got my want for one of them from

This. With everything from babies to adult boas in my collection, some eat every five days, others every 3-4 weeks. So there's usually at least one that hasn't just eaten and isn't in shed that I can fool with.

If you feed appropriately size foodstuffs you shouldn't have to wait more than a day or two.

I have heard that some can be less/more tame, depending on their origins (eg. Biak, Aru, Sorong, etc.). Which ones the tamest? That I don't know. More research to come!

My boy seems to prefer staying in his hide for 2+ days, no matter the size the food happens to be. I guess it may just depend on your BP. Mine just happens to be a lazy garbage disposal, only showing face when he's ready to be fed, lol.

Yeah he said he has been training the one i held since it was a baby, so that explains the chill attitutde, and 2 days is usually what i wait unless i see they still have a food bump, peach is like clock work she eats, then goes into the hide for 2 days on the 3rd somtimes the night of the second ill see her out exploring her cage acting her normal self
