After a snake sheds how long till you can handel it?

Answer 1

You shouldn't - it's a stressful time for the reptile, and it should be kept as quiet as possible, with the absolute minimum of handling. Occasionally, while going through the shedding process, reptiles can get aggressive.

Answer 2

You can handle a snake before and after it is flaking. What ever you do do not pull off any skin that is coming of or flaking. You can damage your pet. Make sure you have fed your snake before the snake's eyes begin to get "cloudy" because it will be about a week before the reptile can see again.

Answer 3

Yes - if the skin is stuck in places. Old stuck skin irritates the snake and is best removed.

Answer 4

I handle my Ball Python right after shedding.In fact sometimes I have to help him shed.

Answer 5

No, usually snakes when going into the shedding process they are somewhat blind and unable to see clearly. If you notice their eyes are very cloudy so there is a chance you can be bitten.
