| No handling until you get Tabasco feeding I'm afraid. You have to get them settled before putting them through the process of getting used to been picked up and handled, its stressful stuff for them and if its already stressed then its just too much. |

HAHA OK I think its safe to assume its settled in then.
If its just fasting for a bit handling wont do any harm, my Royal has been fasting for 4 months and I still get him out every now and again. |

| I never handle my snakes when fasting unless to clean out their homes,or to weigh them to check for weight loss. Personally I'd keep handling to a minimum till he's feeding again and has done a couple of times. |
