| Hi Danny, yes, much the same, although I'd probably try to get a couple of feeds down before handling and leave 48hr before handling. |

| yeah five days is good. and yeah i know 15days+ seems like a very long time but it can really pay of in the end. as your snake can get into a feeding pattern and used to how and what it is being fed. which all being well would mean then when you do get to handling her ( for small amounts of time and not to often to begin with ) that she will keep feeding. |
