Khan ate!!! :):):):):)

So khan was done shedding. I tried again to feed her. She wouldn't take it so I left it in there and covered the enclosure to give her privacy. We looked an hour later and the hopper was gone.... Too bad it wasn't an adult f/t. They didn't have any when I went to get one. Oh well. Maybe next week he will eat again. THIS IS A GOOD SIGN! She ate so happy

How long should I wait to handle her again??? Last time I did it next day and she regurgitated it. Not taking any chances this time.

Minimum 48hours but if there was still a noticeable bulge i would go for 72 hours. As there was a problem before may be worth holding on that extra day.

Good deal! I was starting to worry about my Oxide but he gave in this week to. Must be the weather shaping up.

Re: Khan ate!!! :):):):):)

yea, i usually wait at least 2 days to handle after my snakes eat. usually 3 or more just because i like to let them settle in and hide without stress while they digest.
