What is going on??

[Chocolate Muffin's]

He will have digested the food enough by then. I wouldn't worry about it.

Put the snake in a pillowcase or snake bag. Just make sure the heat pack doesn't have direct contact with the snake.

Don't be surprised if he doesn't eat on the next scheduled day though. The moving can still be stressful.

I would wait until he eats consistently 3 feedings in a row before you try handling him again. First and fore most you want the snake to eat. Handling is something you enjoy, not the snake. They are not social animals and don't "enjoy" being socialized.

Gotta love Kaorte She just tells it like it is, but she KNOWS her stuff. There are so many knowledgeable people here its amazing. I'm glad he's eating again. Everyone's right about the stress issue. When I first brought "Muffin" home, all I wanted to do was play with her, thought she was the cutest thing I'd ever seen...but the vet told me firmly not to over stimulate her or handle her under she had several consistent feedings.

I'm a beginner too, and understand the love that comes with getting your first BP -they are amaing little creatures. Congrats and Good luck!
