Mouse bite after feeding question

Fed my BP a live small adult mouse (might be classified as a weanling), she bit its tail and it in turn bit her, i managed to poke the mouse almost immediately and it let go, my problem is she ate it so now Im not sure if i should pick her up to examine her or leave her alone till she digests more, she's currently using a paper towel substrate and i didn't see any blood.

It won't hurt to look at her real quick, but I am sure she's fine...I have never addressed a rodent bite on a Ball, they are made to take some hits!

I'd pick her up and look...they say don't pick up after a snake eats for 2-3 days. Idk why. Stress??? Idk I've picked mine up the next day with no hissing or heavy breathing or striking..so I think it depends on the snake..but also think I have the nicest snake out there. He doesn't have a mean bone is his body...either way,I'd pick him up n look. Just wash your hands before and after handling

Messing with them too much right after they ate can cause them to regurge the meal...That's why you should let them be for 24-48 hours.

Removed her hide and took a look at her, she looks fine no blood and just 2 spots of like 2 slightly mussed up scales, possibly both are just from a small mite problem i caught early, thanks for the quick replies! I wasn't sure just how prone to regurg they are after eating and figured it wouldn't hurt to get more experienced advice. :)

Ok,TY for that of,I didn't know..but like I did say above it was the next day I picked him up.. I Don't handle him right after he eats anyway,more out of respect for him that I don't want to be a pain in the backside to him. Just cause the one thing I know is how easy they stress
