    sorry for another question..

    sorry like the third forum i posted in 3 days.
    rather ask then make my ball stressed...


    i just got my ball last wed, fed him on sunday... (i no wait a week or two before feeding) but i have a good feeling about him. so i decided to give it a shot. ate beautiful. seems to be adjusted already.

    I have a perfect setup since i used to own few balls.. just a simple tub with undermat heater. hot side at perfect 92.. cold side 84.

    do you think i can start holding him on a daily or bi daily basis.

    I personally wouldn't but its totally up to you. What ever your comfortable with. You can try handling him for a few minutes every 2 days or so, and if he stops feeding for you, or you notice some signs of stress, than you should back off and let him adjust for a while.

    Cheers.

    Don't apologize for asking questions. You will never learn anything if you don't ask

    Sunday I'm guessing you meant yesterday, so I would wait a few days. I honestly don't handle my bps other than cleaning and other maintenance, but I always wait atleast 2 days after they eat to handle them.

    I can't keep up with what I have

    Every snake is different. Some people will say to leave him alone which I would say to do until at least Wednesday or Thursday because he just ate. As far as holding him after that I say go for it. You will be able to tell if he doesnt want to be held yet. But the fact that he ate so soon for you is a good sign.

    P.S. The only question people will get mad about is the one you dont ask.

    If people didnt ask questions then what would we do on here? And if people didnt ask questions then where will everyone be when I have one? Questions are the foundation of this site if you ask me. Because with questions come answers.
