So I picked him up on Tuesday from the pet store and gave him a couple days to settle in. Yesterday was his first feed and he didn't hesitate to take the pinkie.

How often should I feed him? I've heard lots of different opinions including twice a week or once a week. What should I look out for following a feed?

He's about a foot in length right now and his diameter is no more than that of a nickle

Also, I have been given different opinions of how long to wait to handle him after bringng him home? I've heard up to 2 weeks or just a couple days.

You'll hear lots from me as I have never owned a reptile before :P
