Ideas on my Situation?
Went to the pet store two weeks ago to get a snake for my birthday. Beautiful Pueblan; albeit no glamorous color patterns deviating from the norm. Anyway, while I was going home in the car, he had managed to escape the card board box in which he was packaged in and slipped inside the main console. About a week later, we lured him out after several failed attempts with a string attached to some food, a heat lamp, and a box with substrate. He finally nabbed the food and swallowed, the string entangling him to the attached box. We cut him loose and put the poor thing inside the terrarium. A day later I indulged in my thirteen year old whims, unaware of the need of settling in and the danger of regurgitation. I held him for roughly half an hour, then but him back. The next day, I did so again, and the day after that too. I gave him a days break. He false struck at me when I picked him up to handle him today (for five minutes now). I know he's quite stressed (considering the circumstances), but I also want to know: how long should I go with handling and the frequency? 6 month old Pueblan.Thanks for any help you can give to this little thirteen year old
