My little one

Hi I just got my baby grey banded king and I am curious on how often I should handle him. I haven't fed him yet so I don't want to handle him and him to get stressed and not eat. So please write back and answer these questions and any other tips someone is willing to share.
Thanks in advance

I have only had my guy for a month but I'll give you my thoughts. After I got him I gave him 24 hours to settle in. That seemed to be enough because he seems pretty confortable with the process. I even pick him up before I feed him and I don't have any issues with him eating. Problem feeder is not in his vocabulary. That boy loves to eat. After that, I usually give him 72 hours before I play with him again.

I hope that helps.
