a quick question

redwings Jul 13, 2003 01:43 PM

I have a quick question. i don't mean to sound stupid but I recently got a ball (my first snake). Actually this is my second the frist died with in 2 weeks and the pet store was nice enough to replace him. the first never did eat for me but this one was more than happy to (took him about 2 seconds to hit it).

My question is this: how long should I wait after feeding to handle him?

I really don't know and can't seem to find the answer anywhere.

Thanks in advance for your help

I do not touch for the rest of the day after feeding and then i do not touch him for the whole day after the feeding. This works for me ive never had a problem. Hope this helps.
