    Question Is it too early to get him out..?

    Is it alright if I hold Geno? I've been giving him a week off from handling because he was stressed. (I started Sunday, it's Wednesday now) And he eats tomorrow... I was just kinda wanting to hold him. Is it ok or should I still wait until Friday?

    Also, he's been sorta next to/under his water dish when I looked at him last night and just a minute ago. I don't know if that means anything but it's better to be safe than sorry! Thank you in advance!

    Hold him for a bit if you'd like and if he seems calm. The upcoming days off from feeding will help him relax again. So it's a good time for it

    Make sure to pay attention to how long he's calm while out also, even if it's only 15 mins, then put him back.

    Re: Is it too early to get him out..?

    Ok soo... I just had him out and here's what happened:
    I went to pick him up, and to do that I moved the water dish out of the way since he was pretty much under it, and right when he did his head was all in an S.. I still got him out though, and picking him up from behind I took him out to the couch and we kinda sat there. He was tense and flicking his tongue a lot He started to relax a bit but I still put him up.

    I don't know, what could I have done?? He was so curious and sweet.. Now he just wants to bite everything.. I don't know what I did!

    (Oh and I probably had him out for... 5-10 mins? I know it wasn't that long..)

    It can happen. They'll get overwhelmed.

    the snake is still young, right? you did nothing wrong!!! he's probably still not used to you or to handling. keep working with him and he'll learn it's okay to be out with you.

    Now don't pick him up again until at least 48 hours after feeding. Small progress is good progress

    agreed. OP take it slow with him for now; you're doing just fine.
