new ball python couple of questions

so after the next feed time i should be able to hold him with him being used to the environment and having been fed twice?

If the snake is hiding a lot, not cruising during the day, and eating consistently then it is fine to handle them. I noticed you said you are feeding it pinks? These are far too small and you need to upgrade the food or the snake will always be hungry, therefore cruising a lot.


"Exploring" = cruising. This is not a good thing. It means that your snake is uncomfortable. If you could take some pictures of your set up we could help determine why it's cruising. The fact that it is eating is great, but it should be hiding and digesting if it just ate.
