Hi guys new to the forum and snakes in general so maybe a few questions along the way.
I've had Merlin just over a week now and fed him Thursday night, how long should I wait before I handle him? |

Hi and welcome,
In answer to your question give him a good two days to digest dinner. I hope someone warned you these guys are additive.
Good luck |

I am the same, will wait until they have poo'd first which is normally within 3 days. There is nothing worse then looking forward to a bit of snakey time and then it greets you with a foul smelling present on your hands |

| At the moment I get Corno out 2 days after feeding (or 3 days after if recently moved up to a larger meal) and she usually leaves a present on someone other than me lol! When she's bigger I may avoid that though!!! |
