anyone know how long to wait to hold your snake after a feeding? i heard they can be a little tempermental after they are fed because they take awhile to digest. i just don't want to hurt my little guy. thanx :twoguns:
 
48 hours is a good rule for snakes of all ages, not just babies. Most keep to that schedule with even adults.
 
yep...s/he's right...

the one time i handled my snake prior to the 48 hour mark he upchucked a half digested mouse...onto...my...hand!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! definitely WAIT. you may not see the lump in it's stomach anymore after 24 hours, but there is still a mouse in there and it's not afraid show itself.
 
first shedding?

hey guys and gals! i think my little guy is starting to go through his first shedding since i have had him. he looks like the lower half of his body is starting to dull and turn a white milky color, but his neck to head ( about 2 inches) is still bright and colorful. how long until he really starts, and how long until he he is done? what do i do for him? i know you shouldn't handle them, but i just got him and i don't want him to get unused to me. know what i mean? anyone have any tips? all are welcome. thanx, a proud mommy! :rolleyes:
