Hi,
After 2 years of 'persuading' the OH I collected my first snake this morning! He is a beautiful 3yr old carolina corn snake and I am already totally smitten with him! I rehomed him with his full set up and after and hrs drive this morning he is settling in in his new room, but I'm wondering when it would be okay to get him out to handle? Obviously, I want to give him enough time to settle in and I handled him before bringing him home this morning, but as a first time snake owner I don't want to leave it long enough for the nerves to set in!!!
