I hate the wait after food

Oh my gosh....I hate that as well. Hence getting a couple other reptiles so I have someone to fill that 48 hours....:rolleyes:

I purposely feed on Wednesdays since Saturday and Sunday are snake handling days and they're all finished digesting by then!

Thats how im going to do it! wednesdays.... i just got mine and he use to eat every friday or so... but he was in shed AND reajusting to a new home...so i had to wait foreverrr.... but he shed FINALLY the day before yesterday... So now its time for first feeding:/ and its wednesday so it works out...

I also have othe reptiles to hang out with whilst i wait that 48 hours:] like was said...

We feed our snakes on differant days so we can always handle atleast a couple of them.

i thought i was the only one with this problem lol!

Even worse then the 48hrs after a feeding is the 2 week wait when you bring home your new snake!

I always feed on wednesdays so 48 hours later, it's the weekend and I can handle them all I want!

Hahaha! That's happened to me a few times. It astounds me how they always wait to pooh right when it's least convenient for the owner. :D

I feed on the five day sched, so it always varies on what days and how busy I am for the day or two after. I try to stay out of the room the snakes are in if feeding day falls on the weekends, but it's always in vain. I end up sitting there watching them sitting there watching me sitting there, and so the cycle continues. It always seems that whenever I can't hold them is when I want to the most. :P

Anytime I feel the need to handle a ball that just ate I remind myself they're not there to amuse me, and it's much better for their health not to be handled.

Makes the wait go by faster, and gets me into the habit of only handling when they're not at risk for regurgitation.:oops:

Only with new additions until I stop obsessing over them.
