How long to wait?

Im sure that this is posted somewhere here already but here goes anyway...

How long should I wait to handle my snakes after a good feeding? I have not handled my snakes in over a day now since they fed (I fed them on Monday afternoon). I dont want to disturb them to see if they still have "lumps" from the mice in their bellies. They dont move around alot since they are in their hides most of the time. Is there a rule of thumb that most folks here use to guage a time frame? Thanks;)!

I wait 48 hrs before handling after feeding.

X2. Watch out though, if they haven't pee'd yet, handling can sometimes make them go....... all over you. :)

Another good reason to not let them hang out around your neck. You never know when or where the poop and pee will fall... :weirdface
