 Handling???
Is 48 hrs long enough after a feed to handle?? If not can someone give me the time lines they have heard or use?

Re: Handling???
48 hours is normally long enough, but if it was a large food item, or it's a small hatchling, I'd wait at least a 3rd day.
Better safe than regurged on.

Re: Handling???
I've never fed any snake a food item large enough to need to wait 3 days. If you see a bulge in your bp 3 days after feeding, you're probably feeding it too much in one meal.

It depends on how big the meal is...big meal 3 days...small meal 1-2 days...

Re: Handling???
I like to make sure and give my snakes 2 days to digest before trying to handle them. Never have had any issues with that time frame.
Later,
