• In case most of you have not noticed, I made changes to the donation amounts as well as the durations for all of the paid membership levels. Things are winding down here, and this seems to be the most prudent way to deal with the "end of life" period of this site.

    Contributor level members - $10 per 30 days
    Sponsors - Eliminated
    Benefactor level members - $25 per 30 days
    Endowment level members - $50 per 30 days

    On July 1, 2027, all paid memberships will be closed.

    On August 1, 2027, FaunaClassifieds will be terminated.

    Only change I expect that might take place is when I can get around to figuring out when the amount of money I would have to refund for the yearly paid memberships becomes less than the monthly expense of leasing my server, THAT date might be the termination date for the site.

Just curious to see what everyone would recommend or suggest. My new babies just ate their first meal (with me) on Saturday late morning. How long should someone let them digest before handling them ( I use to give them 2-3 days)?

I personally don't handle babies for about 2 months or so after being born. Sure I handle them to clean cages, but I don't handle them to "hang out".

I avoid handling the day before and the day after feeding, but every BP's different. Some of mine don't like being handled much, so I only get them out a couple times a month to keep them hand tame. My favorite girl likes to be handled daily and it's hard for her to wait. I can handle her the day before feeding, but still avoid the day after. Mine are 2 to 3 years old. Hope that helps and good luck with your little babies!
 
If they're good eaters, I don't worry about it all that much. The picky ones I tend to leave alone for the day before feeding, and a day after. Good eaters, I haven't seen any problem with handling them shortly after feeding, or right before, etc. By handling, I don't mean that I'm gonna take them to a snake show, or to the park, or store (like I do..lol). But I'll check them out for 5-10 minutes shortly after they ate.
