i know about not handling for a couple of weeks when you first get snakey but
when i got both mine home they both eat that night and always looking around there tanks in the evening. so what i was wandering is what happens if you do handle them after a day or 2 nt that i am but how would it eefect snakey if i were to.
my bro in law has a royal which he had from a hatchling and he handled it the day after he got it home and he very rarely has trouble feedin and handling him.
not by any means am i saying you guys are wrong ( maybe bro in law has a very easy goin snake) i was just wandering
you cant really say how each snake will act. it is just a precaution not to handle as it wont effect a snake that is fine to handle. i tend not to handle my royal that much no matter when it is.i have been the owner worring about a very young python not feeding for 6months and now they feed i get more joy out of them just watching them explore there vivs. obvosly you dont handle until at least 48hours after a feed and i would recomend not handling them the day of there feed either so with a young royal there isn't much of a window anyways.
yeah i dont handle any of my snakes for 48 or so hrs after eating, just change there water and leave them alone.
i to love watching them explore there vivs but i love to get them out when its ok to i think snakes are just amazing to watch and im so glad i got them
