Found the Snake! and questions

[BHReptiles]

So how long do I have to wait to handle him after feeding? If I'm planning on feeding once a week, how often could I actually hold him? The goal is a "friendly" snake that we don't have to be as nervous about him biting someone.

Give him about 48 hours to digest and then you can hold him. As a baby, he might be defensive, but with a little age on him, he should mellow out. Ball pythons are some of the most non-bity snakes there are. I would be more concerned for my corn snakes biting someone than my ball python. A ball python's first reaction is to ball up first and then strike if balling up doesn't work first.
