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.  |

| 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. |
   
A very special super, duper thanks for K :3 |

| 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. |

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.  |

| 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 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! |
