Question

childrens python eatin
I got a children's python for Christmas and i had to feed it today. How long do I have to wait to hold him again.

Answer
Hi Patrick, I like to leave them alone to bask and digest for the remainder of the day that they were fed and the following day as well. You can pick them up briefly during that time if you need to but I would avoid prolonged handling. That's a very nice present, Children's are one of my favourites.
