He's perfectly fine, he at it within 10 minutes and curled up in his larger hide right over the uth.
I'll wait and extra day or 2 for handling and give him 10 days between feedings.
Crazymonkee- I would never feed my snake something live that I thought was too big ^_^
Oh, really? So I don't have to wait 2 days before handling incase they regurgitate? Won't they still be in feeding mode if I handle them right now after.
You need to wait at LEAST 24 hours before handling after feeding! There have been several threads here and on other forums about people handling too soon and causing a regurge!

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. ~ Herm Albright
I've been doing it my way for years and have never had a regurge. If i feed my snake and then it craps the next day, am i gunna wait another day to clean it? No. If i go to feed and see that the tub is dirty i feed them and then clean them after they're done eating. I'm not gunna try to move a hungry snake and get tagged. I calmly move a full snake after hes eaten and clean his tub. I don't know what these people are doing to cause regurges but i've never had a problem. Be more gentle i guess?
I was being sarcastic before, my apologies. I wouldn't pick it up RIGHT after it pops its jaw back in, because yes, it'll probably still be in feeding mode. You might get tagged then. I've handled semi-often as soon as a half hour after eating though to clean a tub with zero problems. Not sure who came up with the 48hr law but in my experience its bogus.
