Hello everyone. I am just wondering if the experienced breeders can clue me in to how they handle babies. Also how they start to get them used to people. Here is what I know.
I know that I should use some sort of hand santizer after washing my hands before picking up a baby snake.
Ok I know that a baby snake that has just moved out of his/her egg needs to be placed into its tub.


1) Is it safe to handle them with your hands to get them in their tubs or should some sort of snake handling device be used?
2) After the snake has been placed in its tub when should it be offered food?
3) When should handleing start to get the snake used to being handled?


I know its early, but I would like to get these things out of the way before hand so I am not trying to scramble around to learn this stuff when I do get eggs to hatch. I don't think my snakes locked this year, but in case they did and she ends up laying eggs I will need to know this sort of thing. Thanks everyone for your advice its greatly appreciated.
