Same here. Some animals can handle handling about a day afterward, but I keep handling to a minimum for 48 hours just to be on the safe side.

Depends on the individual snake. Some of mine I'm comfortable handling the next day, others i won't touch for 2-3 days. I've handled all of them the day after and some don't mind while others do. I just keep an eye out for what signs they show me and try to treat each snake the way they want to be treated.

I like to wait two days just to be sure they have had time to digest the food.

I wait two days. Mine crawls in her hot hide as soon as the tail goes down her throat and I don't see her again for two days. As soon as I see her little face at the glass again, I know she's ready.

Yup, same, usually 2 days, sometimes they will only wait a day or so if something happens(like a big mess!) but usually for sure 48 hours.
