new to snakes
Hi. My name is Nadine and I just acquired my first snake this week. She is 3 year old spotted python.
The last owner hadn't fed her for a month, so I was bitten the first day. I was smart enough to give her two mice, and now that she has digested them, we are friends.
As I waited for her to digest them (I gave her 48 hours), I began to realize how pitifully small my snake knowledge actually is. I had to ask my mentor about her coloring (the rainbow reflective sheen) and how long to leave her after she ate.
So, I found this forum and I hope to learn a lot more about snakes and particularly learn my own snake better.
I breed Sugar gliders, and I have for over 5 years, I have 32 adults that I adore. I also have 7 crested geckos and one gargoyle gecko.
The pics are of my snake, one of my geckos, and a few of my gliders in my pet colony.

Re: new to snakes
Hello and welcome. It really depends on the species of snake and hoe fast they digest their meals but generally I wait 48 hours before handling.

Re: new to snakes
Welcome and best wishes WLA. Those are some very nice critters you have there. I've never heard of a glider until today. They're cute

Re: new to snakes
Hello and welcome.
I used to have a sugar glider several years ago, but we got her when she was elderly because her owner died. She died a few months after we got her.  They're adorable, though!
