Congrats on the first clutch. I've bred snakes OTHER than BPs with clutches of eggs resulting...usually I take my cue from the momma snake. They are
typically tired for a day or so after laying, but after that show a huge eagerness for food, at which point I feed them. I don't think the kind of snake matters...
any snake laying eggs will be tired first, and then very hungry.

Re: Post lay feeding question
I checked on her this morning she later last night and she was definitely tired. I figured 2-3 days is when I would try. I just wanted advice from someone experienced

Yeah, take your cue from her, for sure. She's definitely earned "room service" whenever she's ready.

Make sure to clean and disinfect her tub completely, wash off the snake (you can wipe her down with a chlorexidine solution) and offer food whenever you feel like it.

Probably don't need the soap either, just water is all I can remember using to clean up a snake after egg-laying.
I personally have never (& would never) use F10 or chlorhexidine ON the snake itself, perhaps because I read & take the label precautions seriously, & because like us,
snakes can absorb things thru their skin; like ours, their bodies depend on "friendly bacteria" to function, and such products do not discriminate, so I remain cautious.
To me, F10 & chlorhexidine are great to clean cages & implements, but not for use on the snakes themselves. Can you do it & have some gotten away with
doing this? -those are different questions & one we each have to answer for ourselves, I guess.
