    Newbie looking for advice

    Hi everyone.
    I'm new to the ball python keeping. I got my very first ball python, a CB13 female orange ghost last Friday.
    I offered her a feed on the Sunday as per the previous owners recommendations, and she took it readily. I have not handled her at all since putting her in her new rub last Friday.
    My question is - when is it ok for me to handle her? I want her to settle in and don't want to upset her in anyway. So when would be a good time?
    I've attached a picture just to show off my new beautiful baby 😉

    Give her at least a week to settle in and check out her new home before handling. Also do not handle for 2 days after feeding.
