I just brought home my first ball python today!
I got her from the All Ohio Expo, and she is a 09 hatchling. I tried to look online for info, but every site had different advice. I am waiting the week before i start handling her, but how long till I should try and feed her?

Thanks!
Emily

Wait a few days to a week for her to settle in then try to feed her. Do not handle her until you get her on a feeding schedule.

Good luck.

Tosha has the best advice that you can get. Always right on the nose with her info and captive care knowledge...... you should listen to her advice (at least that's my advice to you)
