    handling after shed?

    Just a quick question. How long do you wait to handle your BP after he/she finishes shedding?

    I usually wait a day or so. This isn't necessary but I figure that they probably want some time to recuperate after exerting all of the energy required to shed.

    I generally wait a day, but not for any real reason. I do wait at least a day or two after eating though.

    Re: handling after shed?

    I wait until the snake poops. Most BPs poop after a shed, and I don't want to end up covered in it...

    To up load a picture to a post first you need to get the image hosted on a site like photobucket. Once the picture has been uploaded to photobucket choppy the direct link code then past it into the photo insurer tool here on BP.net (the picture icon above the text box where you reply to threads)

    Here is a photo walk through.
