    After Feeding Handle Time
    How long should we wait after a feeding till you think its OK to handle our BP? Is a day long enough, say anything over 12 hours or what?

    I normally wait a day/24 hours at the minimum.

    I wait 48 hours...after seeing those MRI's of a python after it eats (MRI taken every few hours) It just reaffirmed my 48 hour rule...

    I have always seen it recommended to wait 2-3 days.

    24-48 hours is the average.

    I like to wait 10-15 minutes to make sure they get the meal down all the way

    2 days minimum. I wait until I see the snake out and active at dusk usually. Then I know for sure they're good :gj:

    We wait 24 hours minimum and then limited handling and only if they are active already. Hope that helps

    like to handle them for an extended period? or just to move them? If I really need to move my snakes after feeding, for whatever comes up, i wait about an hour. if you mean tto handle for extended periods of time for your enjoyment I typically wait about 2-3 days.
