I agree with Darren. Just treat it as though you have just got it and do the no-handling rule. Hopefully that will give it time to de-stress from the early handling and get used to its new surrounding etc. I know it means it is even longer before you can handle it....but waiting a few extra days is worth it for your snake's sake!

ahh right okay! well maybe it's just nervous then. just leave it be for a while. just change the water then after a week try handling it :) |

it's probably very nervous then. leave it a while - my snake used to hide away all the time when it was dinky. it could also be due for shed and doesn't want to leave the hides. do you have a pic of the setup? :) |

i'd just leave it be for a while. it's probably just nervous. is it a hatchling? |
