[bonheki]

just wait like 5 min i guess then just place him back and leave him alone but allways clean before and after he eats (after he poops)

i dont want to have to use a hook i really want to get over my fear but i have no problems holding them once there outside.and since you mentioned it how ofter do they poo anyways and whats the right way to take him out?

When I got my bp I was a little cautious of picking her up too but honestly, they are so friendly and unless you have an aggressive snake (which you would probably have known by now) the chances of it bitting you when you pick it up are slim to none. As long as you keep their body supported and are gentle you should have no problems.

In some forums about feeding they say that some can go up to 4 weeks without pooping. But usually they poop once or twice a week. Most the time you'll just find uriates. You will know when they poop. It smells terrible.

When you pick them up just grab them near their midsection and place her/her on your hand or whatever. The are terrestrial animals so they need support for their long backbone. As long as you keep them supported ( which isn't hard to do) your fine. They usually get themselves comfortable.

i think hes a calm one.this morn i was moving his hide back because he moved it overnight and he woke up and i left my hand in the tank and he just slowly came over to my hand and checked me out he also has done that when i change the water and if im watching him he comes up too the front and says whats up lol

[giaach]

thats pretty cool. Mine spends most of her time in her hide. Shes about to shed too, which causes them to be a little more recluse. but I would assume that from what you said, your snake doesn't sound like a vicious killer out to bite your hand off.

I feed all my snakes outside in a separate feeding tub just bc i get a very strong feeding response...when they go in there they know its time to eat. My suggestion is to pick up a digital scale for 35$ mice/rats can be seen as small to some but when you put em on the scale theyre huge... My buddy was feeding his snake 30-40g rats at 3-4 months old bc he had no clue how big to feed... snake was pounding em with no problems but once he got a scale and found out how much they really weighed hes was very surprised.

i wish i could get all my questions on one post but i keep forgetting lol i think this is my last one though when you say give him 2 days before handling is that do whole days?so todays thursday so would it be saturday or sunday before i try to handle him?

[giaach]

I'd say saturday night, or anytime sunday should be fine. Just don't handle it too much until like monday.

well im going to start with 5 minute sessions pretty much daily besides the days after feeding then i will add time after a while.i have my beardie for long handling sessions shes spoiled and wont go to sleep unless i take her out and lay down with her she wants to be out with me all day long lol
