    Feeding and Relocation Question
    Hey everyone. I have a ball python, she's probably about 2 years of age now seeing as how I got her in 2014 and she was a hatchling.

    Anyway, I fed her yesterday, and then relocated her from my dad's house to my mom's house today. It's been more than 24 hours since she's eaten.

    I was wondering how long I should let her settle in to her new surroundings before I handle her again. Would it be bad to hold her now? I've read that it's good to let her sit for two days after feeding, and that's understandable. She is completely comfortable around me, seeing as I've had her for 2 years now.

    Is she in the same enclosure? If the enclosure is the same, and your temps/humidity haven't changed, and as long as her food has digested, you're probably okay. If you've moved her into a new enclosure, I'd give her a least a week, maybe two.

    It's a bigger enclosure because she finally outgrew her old one. But everything else is the same aside from her water bowl, which is a new and bigger one.

    A week or two, same as when you first got her.
