Re: feeding
Hey!
I am new to this site but have read a lot, and the consensus seems to be 48 hours. I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong.
Good luck,
Sam

Re: feeding
We normally wait 48 hours for handling. That's handling though - actually getting the snake out to muck about with it. If I check the snakes and somebody's made a huge mess of their tub right after feeding, I might gently move the snake in order to make sure they have a clean environment. I'm careful, I'm gentle and I get in and out of their fast. That usually doesn't bother them at all but is not the same thing as a full on handling experience.

This is just what we do as well!

Re: feeding
I concur with 48 hours for handling. I feed in a separate enclosure though so it's necessary for me to pick him up and put him back in his tank after he eats but I give it 45 minutes after he's completely swallowed it.
