how long to wait after food
Wondering how long people wait to handle their snakes once they have fed. Mine just took a small mouse for the first time so i'm very happy. I heard two days but seems some people dont take much notice of this.
THanks :)

hi,
as i feed in the rack tubes, i don't have to handle them. not right after feeding, and mostly not in the next days,...
but as long we fed our snakes in extra boxes, we handled them right a few minutes after feeding, and never had problems with it.
Re: how long to wait after food
I normally give mine 2 days...
Re: how long to wait after food
You CAN "handle" them right after, however it needs to be limited to moving them from one enclosure to another, or picking them up to clean their tubs, etc. As a rule of thumb dont try handling them (playing with them) for about 2 days.

New snakes I wait 2-3 days, established snakes 1 day.

I wait at least 2 days after feeding. I'm not good w/ regurges :P
