Picked Up My Hatchie coastal carpet python

[scotchbo]

Hi all i picked up my coastal carpet python called cookie monster as he is a guts and eats alot says the breeder.

im curious i was handling him that night he seemed to enjoy the time i was spending with him and didnt appear to be stressed i was wondering is that the right thing to be doing handling him straight away or should i leave him for a while to settle in to his new surroundings?

All opinion's are more than welcome
thanks guys

id let him settle for a few days, it tends to help, although it is a hard thing to do when you get your first snake! but you get used to it.

Yes Triptych_angel....... I am sure like all newbies, Scotchbo does like to receive some advice on how things are best done. we have all been there in his/her position. One thing I did notice with my hatchies is one of them was placid to start.... but then later started snapping at me.... Dont flinch, let them bite you (It doesnt hurt). Eventually they will realise you mean them no harm and will stop being so snappy... Have fun with "COOKIE MONSTER".
