Getting WC baby garters to eat

Good to know! In that case, he either escaped, is hiding, or died hiding and I'll find him later lol.

I ended up catching another, but there is a small sore on it that has me concerned about parasites/disease... What do you think, release?IMG_20200918_163110.jpg

Also, when do you think it's okay for me to start handling the little guys?

[Just CL]

Is it bad to handle them a lot?
"Nah. I mean, don't go extreme.lol At first, take it slow. They'll be a bit stressed after shipping. Give them a couple days to adjust and then gradually ramp up the time. So, maybe 3 days after you get them hold them for 5 minutes or so, then put them back and feed them. Then a week after maybe hold them a bit longer. After a month or so they should be used to you. Like any new relationship, it's better for both parties to take it slow."
