Hi
I am new to the site.
I have just purchased a Florida King snake and I love him. He is already very active in the tank which I hope is a good sign that he is settling in.
1) He was fed 8 days a ago in the shop I bought him from. They have said I should not feed him until he has had a week to settle in? Is this ok as I am worried he will be hungry? Equally I do not want to feed him now if it will unsettle him.
2)When can I 1st handle him? and how long can you hold them for at anyone time?
3) When I spot clean the tank do I need to wipe the effected area with the special cleaning product or do I only use the cleaning product when I clean out the tank every 4 weeks?
Thanks |

If he feeds ok then give it another 48 hours for the meal to digest and then you should be OK to handle him. Just keep the session short to begin with |

Just to clarify, when can I 1st handle the Florida King? I bought him 5 days ago? I will feed him for the 1st time in 2 days. |

1, Wait the week. They can go months without feeding. A week is nothing.
2, I'd personally wait until a few days after you have fed him. Most people say 10 minutes at a time but i give mine a run around the living for 20 minutes once a week.
3, Just make sure the substrate is all clear, or if it's an object give it a quick clean |
