Congrats on a cute snake and a good rat feeding.
Now go clean your room! (j/k)

Just curious, how do you guys handle your snakes after feeding? I feed my girls right in their tank; I've heard handling too soon after feeding can make them regurgitate. Do you use a hook or just your hands?

I feed in a seperate box. I pick mine up when shes done and place her directly back into her tank. I dont think that it is the actual handling part, I think its the fact that they will regurge if they don't feel safe. They are very vulnerable after they eat. I usually wait 24 hours, and never had any problems.

i've been feeding in a separate tank as well. i orginally didn't think i was gonna do that, but i have found that it is easier for me to keep an eye on things that way and also easier to clean up any blood or fluids from the mouse. when nellie has completely swallowed the mouse and it is all the way down in her belly then i just gently pick her up and set her down into her tank at which time she usually hurries into her warm hide. then i give her a full 48 hours to digest before i handle her again.

I like the conditioning the results from feeding in a seperate enclosure as well. The snake knows there's only one thing to do once you get into the 'box 'o death.' EAT!
