Wait a week from the day you got the snake before holding it. Never hold the snake for the first 24 hours after you feed it. Other then that, doesn't matter when you handle!
If your only heat source is the light then it needs to be on 24/7. If it is too hot (you should be measuring temps) then you need to get a lower wattage.
I do a complete substrate change when the snake poos. When they do it usually means that they have peed as well and that can spread everywhere.
Feed every 5-7 days, 10-15% of the snakes body weight.
They shed as needed. Usually ever 4-7 weeks.
I think I posted in another one of your threads with some important info![]()
