Feeding help please

[sarahlovesmiike]

I decided to use a rubbermaid bin for her feedings so that she won't associate her tank with feeding time. My question is, how long once she has swallowed her food should I wait before I pick her up and move her to her tank?

You can eliminate this problem by not moving your snake to feed. This is unnecessary and stressful for the snake. You should not pick your snake up for 48 hours after a feeding, period. Moving your snake from a bin to the enclosure could cause a regurgitation. Don't worry about the cage aggression, it's a myth! If you handle your snake regularly it will not become aggressive if it isn't already. It may cause your snake to associate being picked up with feeding time, THEN you're going to run into problems. I have a male that simply will not eat if you wake him up before offering prey.

Also just double checking, I shouldn't touch her for 2 days once I get her back to her tank, correct?

Right!
