    How long to wait after feeding for a large boa?

    I'm wondering in general- Would larger snakes eating large rats need a longer time to digest (before handling) than a small snake on adult mice? (just as an example)

    My dumeril's is currently on medium rats, and I realize they digest a bit slower than ball pythons to begin with. I'm wondering if I should wait four days, or even longer as she gets bumped up in food size. Or if it is not needed, and just sticking to "3 days after eating" before handling is enough for her lifetime?
