I had my first feeding with my male ball python last night. it was successful and he is my first snake. however, I am wondering about some things:

1. Regurgitation. if it were to happen, when would it typically happen? I have no intention on handling my snake for at least 72 hrs. i understand 48 is ok, but i am being extra cautious.

2. is 72 hrs. enough? is 48? I apologize but i just do not want any issues.

3. i was really pumped when he ate for me. i did what everyone here said to as far as not stressing them out. but i know there may come a time he may not eat for me. when can i expect this? a breeding season? what time of year? assuming everything else is ok as far as temps and humidity, what else would cause it? I'm just preparing myself mentally so I'm not overly freaking out. i know its not one size fit all with this care taking but if there is a time of year they do not eat it will help me.

thank you all
