You can feed it a meal 1.5x the widest part of the snake's body once every 10-14 days which should be more than enough

Re: hi new guy here

When you pick it up you should be confident and reach in swiftly, hold the snake about a third of the way down its body and just lift it up. If you are hesitant and wave your hands around in front of it then it is more likely to bite.

Re: hi new guy here

Lankyrob is right, when picking up a snake you need to be calm and confident. Snakes can feel your emotions like other animals and usually feel the same as you.

Anyways, welcome. xD
