    question

    Hey I just need some expert opinion..... I tried feeding my bp last night but the food was too big. I fed him a thawed pinky because he was probably hungry. He ate it pretty fast and then I put him back in the cage. Well now, I have an urge to hold him... do you think it's a good idea? I know you're not supposed to hold them after they eat but he didn't really eat.... Just wonderin

    i'd probably still wait till at least tomorrow. even if it was small prey, there's still the chance of him regurging.

    Yeah; I would give him at least 24 hours to digest and relax after eating.
