Feeding Stimmie

[StimsonPython145]

Im going to feed my stimmie, i was just woundering how long will i have to wait after she has eaten to handle her again ???

You should wait atleast 2 days before handling them after feeding.

how old? just curious. with my snakes, I handle them straight away. but that's me and all of them are atleast 12mnths old

i generally dont handle my pythons unless there is a need.
but if u must handle it, i would generally be waiting at least 2 - 3 days. u shouldnt handle straight after a feed. high stress will end up making it regurgitate and thats not good.

when the snakes were younger, i didn't handle them as much after feeding, but now, i find i can handle straight away and they don't seem to mind.

making it regurgitate and thats not good.

Shes just over 1 year ld only got her yesterday so this is the first time i have fed her

you feeding in its enclosure or seperate container?

 

[StimsonPython145]

enclosure

 

[Crazy_Snake08]

i feed my in a seperate enclosrure out of personal choice so that way, to get them back into their enclosures I have to "handle" them.

if you're feeding in enclosure, no need to handle them straight away like i do to transfer from one place to another unless you have to.

Wait until you can't see a lump anymore, usually a couple of days. You should be pretty safe that way.
