Newly adopted
So as I mentioned in my introduction post(which has all the information about the snake and the tank ect), I have a newly adopted 2 year old Cornsnake.
He seems to be adjusting fairly well.( although I don't really know what happy or miserable behavior is like in snakes) He was hiding out for most of the day but now is moving around the tank, drinking water ect.
I've been taking the time to read some care sheets, but I can't seem to find much on how to care for a snake after a transition to a new place.
Questions I have are:
how long should I wait before I handle him?
He is scheduled to be fed in a few days:
should I wait longer before feeding so he can adjust?
Should I feed him a smaller rat for his first meal in the new place?
The only reason I adopted him in the first place was because I did not want him to be euthanized. I am very new to this and just want him to live comfortably and thrive so any and all help will be appreciated greatly.
Thank you.
* I will post pictures soon in the gallery
