Hi. Im new to this site  My son had a baby corn snake for his birthday a couple of weeks ago. We're new to snakes-this is our first one! Its settling in quite well, just getting used to being handled but just have aquick question. How long is it best to leave the snake before handling it after its been fed? We fed him late on wednesday and he doesnt want to be handled yet, is it too early? |

| Thanks so much everyone. Snickers so much happier to be handled today so 48+ hours seems to be right for him x |

I fed mine on Friday, the lump has disapeared which suprises me, as it normally took him longer to digest a smaller meal.. Yet he hasn't pooped yet.
Good to handle? I'ma probably handle him IN the viv, so if he has the urge to poo over me, which he does, hopefully it wont go all over me. |
