Are there any guidelines to handling a corn snake after a shed? Are they more sensitive to human touch after a shed? Should there be any no handling time? Colin has shed for the first time since I have had him, all in one piece with eyelids and tail included. He is feeding well, putting on weight and has now shed for me, so I am very pleased that everything is pointing to a happy snake. |

Thanks Kellog. I left him alone for a few hours then handled him and he seemed fine. Yes, I will be keeping his first shed, and probably most of any future ones as well. |

I certainly wouldn't handle any of mine straight after they've shed Michael. Kellog, in particular, shows that he's got sensitive skin straight after a shed. Before I changed to Lignocel immediately after he shed he'd be going round his viv twitching and even biting himself  . Not nice.
It's also quite a stressful and tiring process so they need a chance to recover. Give it a few hours and then he's probably fine to handle .
Glad he did a full and complete shed for you. Hope you're going to keep it as its his first shed with you  .
