I agree. You might feel excited to handle him and work with him right away, but I think it's always best to give new snakes lots of "alone time" to make sure they settle in and feel comfortable and secure.

That being said, I also think it's always good to evaluate and re-avaluate the set-up and husbandry conditions. If you tell us exactly how you are keeping him, we could maybe offer you more advice. Sometimes improving the set-up can also make a difference in a new snake settling in and feeling calm and comfortable.

I had a baby carpet python that was a serious biter at first. After he settled in he became very calm and nice. I also had a baby corn snake that just thought he was a vicious little rattle snake. He was hilarious, so little yet so full of fight.
