black-jacks first feed with me yesterday! It went fine but i had to feed him in the viv because im not sure where to feed him yet.

I was just wondering what sort of a containment i should use for feeding him in the future? Hes about 4ft at 2 years old should it be big?

Also I know you shouldnt handle them after feeding so how should i put him back in his viv?

Another thing is that how long exactly should I wait before i can properly handle him again after feeding?

i find it easiest using a RUB with a lid so after feeding i can safely leave them for 10-15 mins before moving them back into their viv. that way they're not expecting more food and they're not in feeding mode so i'm less likely to get tagged in the process

you can use a plastic tub with a lid or just a washing up bowl if you keep a eye on him,you can lift him after 10-15 mins just dont over handle or bend him and wait 48hours before proper handling.
