baby coastal

How long should I leave my baby coastal alone after she has eaten? I got her at the expo on sunday, and fed her two pinkies yesterday, eaten with no hesitation, oh yeah she nipped me before I fed her and drew a little blood, no longer a her virgin

lol - congrats on your aquasition .. and the bite!

I'd say give her at least 2 days if not more b4 handling .. and even then, since u just got her, i'd suggest not handling her for a good week to give her time to get used to her new surroundings.

I have 2 coastals .. man oh man .. they are some of the best pythons to have!

LOL Congrats Moses!! as a rule of thumb, you should always wait at least 2 days after a snake eats before handling them unless you HAVE to move them to clean or for other reasons... I would also agree with Dom and say wait a good week or at least 5 days before you start handling her again congrats on the new addition!
