Um...your ball is probably too cold. Read the care sheet and then go to BP husbandry and post your tank set up. You will get lots of responses.

As far as handling....48 hours is right....no touchey touchey after feeding. Other than that just see how the snake does. Most tolerate handling but I have to say I have a couple that think they should be out all the time and enjoy watching movies and laying on me and my hubby.

If the snake is really restless and on the go...it probably wants back in the cage. If not then handle away.

Careful I too got into this because my son wanted a BP....now 25 reptiles later....lol
