Power Feeding . . . Basic Information
Now I was told you can power feed a snake, 2X a week for example. Is there any harm to doing so, at the few pet stores I have visited they have told me about no negative effects just the snake will gt bigger but will it harm it? Also they told me to handle him for 20 mins a day minimium, I handle him for 10 mins a few times a day, he seems extremely friendly to it, he bobs and jolts his head slightly, I am aware he is stressed out when I move quickly, I have only had him for 5 days now. Can I handle him for lets say; 2 hours a day slowly building up, maybe 30 mins then add on 10 mins a week etc... Theres no harm in slowly starting to handle him more is there? He is also slightly cold at night when I turn off the heating supplies. Is there any harm in leaving just the heating pad underneath the tank on?
Anything else that people who have handled snakes for Years or more know anything more that I havn't touched up on?
I have him in birch wood for easy sheeding, big cave which heats up alot, (Ball Python) Water dish and skull, and I am waiting to see what he likes to add more in, If he hides in his cave more get him more objects he can hide in, if he's more in the open get him things to slide along.
