Had a regurge from Neidr, which was lovely as he decided I needed to see and hear it but hey, it's nice to share. Have given him plenty more cover to reduce stress and no handling.
I haven't actually seen him for a day or two but as I type I can see him having a little explore and a drink.. He's due to be fed tomorrow which from what I read he should skip.
Find it hard to be hands off when I can see my lil dude having some fun! Anyway.. sorry slightly random and pointless post! |

Give him a meal smaller than usual after the 10 days then a normal one on his next feed after that. Worked with my snake |

My son hasn't held the snake, have had a word with him about his behaviour inside the house so hopefully it's sunk in! |

Probably the aeroplane didn't help - not something i'd recommend, tbh i probably wouldn't have fed if he'd experienced something like that. Don't want to say how to raise your kids, but might be worth having a chat with them about the do's and don'ts when handling the snake.
Hope he's ok
Agreed, care sheet says a week but most people I've spoken to say 10 days. |

Got everything crossed, think my son's decision to turn into an aeroplane might have contributed to the stress... it certainly added to mine! |
