how long to wait after food

[stormshadow]

Wondering how long people wait to handle their snakes once they have fed. Mine just took a small mouse for the first time so i'm very happy. I heard two days but seems some people dont take much notice of this.

THanks

hi,

as i feed in the rack tubes, i don't have to handle them. not right after feeding, and mostly not in the next days,...
but as long we fed our snakes in extra boxes, we handled them right a few minutes after feeding, and never had problems with it.

I normally give mine 2 days...

You CAN "handle" them right after, however it needs to be limited to moving them from one enclosure to another, or picking them up to clean their tubs, etc. As a rule of thumb dont try handling them (playing with them) for about 2 days.

New snakes I wait 2-3 days, established snakes 1 day.

I wait at least 2 days after feeding. I'm not good w/ regurges
