Eek didn't think about the bladder situations, blanket it is!Originally Posted by Valyndris
Most people say not to take them out daily but I always take Crowley out everyday because he loves to be out. The only time I don't take him out is for 48 hours after eating and when he's shedding or when he decides for himself that he wants to stay in. He lets me know when he wants out by climbing the glass of his tank. If Dumpling is eating fine then taking him out daily doesn't hurt at all especially if he's asking to come out, it will just make for a tamer snake as he grows up.
Also I still recommend a blanket as snakes will pee anywhere they please and a blanket is much easier to clean than a couch or futon.
He has had trouble eating, though I am in the middle of trying to switch him to f/t so that's a whole mother struggle. I leave him alone as much as I can, especially after a meal (when he's taken one) but it's hard to resist opening the lid when I can tell he wants to be out. I'm going to try and feed him again tomorrow after waiting 5 days since I last tried, so I don't think I'll open the lid for him tonight.
It'll be insentive, "maybe if I eat mom will let me out again"
Cross your fingers!
