New Member saying hello

Thank you.

We bought him/her at a pet store. We have been told and read that a week is about the appropriate time before handling the snake. It was fed over the weekend so I figure we can take it out Saturday, clean the cage and let it eat.

In your experience what is the waiting period after it eats before we can start handling it and getting it used to us?

you need to wait 24-48 hours for digestion. but... leave it alone in its new home for a week so it can get used to its new surroundings. trust me, thats exactly what everyone told me to do. if you want it to be happy and for it to eat for you, do this.
