    I hate the wait after food

    Anyone with me and hate the waiting period after you feed your snakes. I mean not being able to handle them for 24 hours (some of you longer).

    But I know there is also some of you who toss the food item in the tank / enclosure and do not really bother with the snake again until the next feeding. But I know there are people out there that handle every day like me. Oh and i am not trying to sound mean to the people that don't handle their snakes that often.

    Re: I hate the wait after food

    I hate it only when I want to take one of them out and then I realize they just ate. XD

    It seems I always have time to handle them after I feed them because I feed on the weekends when I have time in the first place!

    Same here. I look at Charlie, who is exclusively mine, and just want to take him out! I peek through the glass into his hut and try to will him to digest faster. Doesn't seem to be working, though!
