Feeding

[nicolerawr33]

So I fed my ball python for the first time. I tried rats he doesn't like them so I tried mice and it worked, he ate two, I was so happy how long do I have to wait to be able to handle him again? I keep reading it can be 48-72 hours.

Also when should I feed him next? I just fed him yesterday. So a week, 2 weeks?

48 hours is good enough nd how is she?

She has been great so far, I'm very happy with her. The only issue I had with her was feeding but I switched to mice and as soon as I put the mice in her eating cage she snatched them up. Other then that she's good with me picking her up and holding her. Shes very active at night, and sometimes during the day, Most of the time she's hiding, and will poke her head out to stare at me. I've noticed when I am near her cage she'll cme out of hiding, I'd like to think it's cuz she likes me

Wait two days before handling after they eat. If it is a juvenile feed them ever seven days, if it is a larger snake they can go up to ten days.
