Hello All,
I recently(three days ago) purchased a captive born ball python. I assume he is fairly young. He is only 18-20 inches long.He fed on his first night home (live mouse). I am trying to read all I can about them. Some sources say that I shouldn't handle him for appx 1-2 weeks after bringing him home. Other sources don't even mention this. I have handled him a few timesfor appx an hour at a time. He shows no signs of aggression or defensive posturing. He seems to be comfortable. Should I stop handliing him for a week or two? Or is it o,k, since he seems to be fine with it? Thank you for any help you may have for me.

Matt
