    Re: Should I handle my new BP coming today?

    What Neko said. Quick wellness check, make sure you don't see any mites or other obvious issues, get a quick weight on him and then stick him in his enclosure to settle. Most keepers recommend not handling until your new snake has taken at least 3 consecutive meals from you.

    Congratulations on the new snake! Be sure to share some pics.
