    Bp digestion

    Does it matter what size the snake is and how big of prey it's eating, or is it basically the 3 day wait until it's safe to handle no matter what the size of snake or prey it's eating? I don't overfeed or powerfeed.

    it doesn't matter the size of the snake or the prey.....always wait at least 48 hours to handle.

    Ok, iv always given them 3 days, just wanted to ask. I thought maybe the older they are, longer it takes.

    I wait two days. But I feed in another tub . I just pay attention to my snakes body language before I put my hand near each one i have been bitten twice doing this,just a word to the wise. After your snake has ate. And if you need to move it. Pay attention. And move quickly but gentle. I don't pick them up for any time after that tho.

    I always feed them in their tank/tub. Never been bit, when I change water or somthing, they see my hand and come close, thinking I'm feeding but I always wash my hands with the same soap when I do it or when I handle them so im hoping that when they see my hands and smell the scent on my hands, they know it's not food time.
