    Is it too early to get him out..?

    So how long have you actually had him ?

    I thought the general rule for new Royals/Ball pythons was to leave them to settle in for a week or so , feed ( hopefully ) and then wait for 48hours minimum ... some wait until they've had two consecutive feeds .... hopefully this doesn't effect his first feeding attempt for you ..

    I usually leave all new snakes for a week to settle in and try and feed usually after 3 days. It's a good general rule but we all know how hard it is resist picking up your new worm lol. Of course i mostly have dealt with boas and they usually settle in in 1 day and become garbage cans by day 2 haha.

    So, I just had him out for 10 mins. He did pretty good, except for when I was getting him out :L I had to use a snake hook but after I got him out he did good.
