When to offer

[danielwilu2525]

Once my BP comes In the mail, do I Instantly offer after a couple hours of him being home? Or do I wait a week or 2? Just wanna make sure so I don't stress the little guy out.

Offer what? If your asking about food, give him two weeks to settle in with minimal handling. Then offer an appropriate size rat.

Sorry for not being specific, thanks for the Info!

My standard procedure is wait a week no handling in between that week of arrival (I do open tubs every day to change water) then I offer an appropriate size meal. Which for my latest Killerblast has been a rat pup. After they've ate I put them back (I feed live and feed in separate containers to intervene if need be for a bad strike) leave them for 48 hours to digest and handle every other day starting at 5 minutes and gradually increasing each session depending on how the snake behaves. I hope this answers your question and maybe a little added bonus in there. Good luck!

Yeah thanks man! So If he behaves well I can probably Increase 5 minutes each week till I reach an hour. Is that good? Only If he behaves good and doesn't seem stressed out about it.

All depends on their personality. You can hold them as long as you want if it's not stressing them out. Remember handling is for us not them
