    I fead my snka eon Friday, can I hold him yet?
    Is this the first time you've fed him? If it is you might wanna give him some more time to adjust. Usually you should wait at least two full days. I try to leave mine go for three just to try to avoid the nastiness of regurge.

    A minimum of 2 days after feeding is best - I give all my snakes 3...and sometimes for my bp I wait till he's defecated (something I started doing after he went on me twice).

    Reptidude, led4urhead was recommending you wait longer since your snake is still in the adjustment phase with you. Also so you can get a good idea of his/her individual behavior is like. He's in a new home and has a lot of adjusting to do. That's why it's generally recommended that you give them at least a week to settle in before feeding and handling. With babies (especially corns) I'd be even more careful with handling too soon - just my thoughts. :0

    LOL - when ya gotta go, ya gotta go. I'm just glad they don't go everyday and you don't have to let them outside or take them for a walk....
