Feeding

[SPIDERBALL]

Just got a new baby spider bp. How long should I wait for it to get settled into its enclosure before trying to feed it.
(I know theres a thread on this somewhere. Couldn't find it.)

The search bar for me is tricky sometimes I just don't put the right search in lol. Anyways I'd wait 5-7 days for your new little one to adjust and calm down from the move and then try to feed whatever the previous person fed. Any pics? I love spiders

A week. As a new owner you may want to take a look at this caresheet.

Standard time to wait is a week before handling or feeding

My own advice to new BP owners:

When you get your snake home take all your pictures, play with it, and in general do the things you'll want to do with it to get them out of your system. After you are done, introduce the reptile to it's enclosure and leave. Leave it alone. Forget it exists, and just ignore it. Enjoy your pictures and bide your time. Leave the snake alone for a week. Then, when you finally go to feed it, scent the room by having the prey item in it for about an hour before hand. Then introduce the prey to the snake.

Repeat until your snake has eaten 3 times, then try handling it.
