    Two heating pad questions I have.....

    Vigo just ate for the first time last night since I brought him home. I fed him in a separate enclosure and then put him back in his home about an hour or so later. I know its suggested I wait a couple of days before handling him again. Any suggestions on the appropriate amount of time? Again, he's 20 inches and 6 months old.


    BTW: Thanks for the compliments on Vigo! I passed them along to him and I can tell you he's very pleased!

    Thanks!

    I give em 24 hours, unless it was a huge meal. After 24 hours, I will handle them briefly, if I need to, but not a full-fledged handling session. I usually give them 3 days or so. (I feed larger prey items than many do, however.)
