how much and how often to feed

[mooingtricycle]

This may be a good place to post my question rather than make a whole new topic, I just fed my ball and i was worried the mouse was too big for him, infact i was ont he phone with the pet store asking if i could return the feeder for a smaller size when he decided to strike. He managed to eat the mouse without injury but now im worried if i pick him up he might get an upset stomach, so my question is how long should I wait after a feeding to put the snake back in his home? i have pictures incase they may help

Put him back now.

So long as the mouse was not INSANELY larger than the snake is around, you should be fine. Just be gentle if youre worried, but generally its not too much of an issue.
