Question
HI i just got my first snake and really want to handle it but should i wait a few days so it can get settled in or can i handle it right away??
thanks a ton Hunter

Answer
Usually you want to wait a couple of days for a snake to settle in though some snakes you can handle right away and never have any issues with.  Either way you go I wouldn't over handle it or stress it out too much or you may have issues on your hands with the snake feeding.
