Hi everyone - My name is Tom and I am new to snake keeping. I have been looking around the site for a while now but thought I would say hi as today I picked up my new 3 month old Amel Corn. He/She is gorgeous!! I say he/she because they hadn't sexed 'him??' because they wanted 'her??' to get a bit bigger so in a few months i can take 'him??' back for sexing.
This first week is going to be a killer what with having to wait a week to play.
Right - now down to business and the start of many, many questions to come 
In the shop I was told that the snakes are fed on a Thursday, which is tomorrow, however I know that He/She needs to settle for a week so, do I feed tomorrow or leave it until next week? The shop said it wil be fine to feed tomorrow but I just wanted a few more views.
I will get some piccies over soon, I am so proud and cant wait to show off 
Thank you
Tom |

Hi
Welcome to the forum and the world of snake ownership!
I agree with gingerpony. That's what I did with my snakes when I first got them.
Amels are gorgeous, such bright vibrant colours!
Yes, you're right that week of no touching is a killer! So is the 48 hours after every feed but at least that's shorter... |

hey and welcome
to be honest its up to you as to whether you feed him/her tomorrow, personally i would leave it for a week - snakes are opportunistic feeders so it wont be a problem missing one
look forwards to pics! |
