Hi everyone!
I just got my first snake, Charlie, almost two weeks ago and I'm still in the process of figuring out how best to care for him. He's 3 months old and eating frozen and thawed pinkies.
I was wondering how you all feed your snakes. I know it's best to feed them in a separate enclosure, so i put Charlie in a paper grocery bag with his lamp for heat and feed him there. My question is what next? I know it's important to be careful when handling a recently fed snake, and when I tried to put him back he rattled and lunged at me. How do I put him back in his terrarium without hurting him or me?
Thanks so much!
Zach
