Hi everyone. When I get my snake I am planning on feeding him outside his faun, in a small tub as I want to reduce the chances of him striking at us when we put our hands in his faun.

Question is, I know you can't handle snake for 48 hours after a feed but is it ok to pick him up straight after to pop him back in his faun or should I put the tub in the faun and let him get out on his own?

Thanks.

Thanks for all your replies. I will see what works best for our snake but glad it's ok to do it that way.

same here, i just open up the viv and let sonic climb out his tub by himself, sometimes he needs a little guiding so i very carefully lift him

I just put the box in the viv for Noddle to climb out of and i take it out in the morning.

I just slide Izzy back in from the box. Unless she's had a big fat mouse she's usually still on attack mode even 15minutes after eating!

I use the tub I feed to gently slide my guys into their boxes. This is mainly because Widget just strikes at me cos he's bad tempered and Boa is a full on strike-constrict feeder, and I'd really not want him doing that a finger!! Also, I just find it safer in my own opinion ^^

I gently lift mine back to their vivs too. It's one of those where there's no right or wrong, it's just personal choice.

Ah, that's put my mind at rest. Cheers :o)

I gently pick both mine up and transfer them straight to their viv making sure the bumps travelled to approximately the middle of their bodies before moving them and that I avoid the bump. They've both been fine with that.

You can do it either way :) If you pick him up after feeding though to pop him back in, make sure it's far down his body.
