BTW - We got him home, and he ate like a champ the next day. He was eating f/t mice at the store and we bought him on the day he was scheduled to eat again. We let him come home and have 24 hours to settle in. We still handled him plenty during that 24 hours. He seemed very comfortable. Not much balling up at all really. I think (hope) we got a really great, social snake.

Thanks!
There's no real hard and fast rule for it. The rule of thumb is basically give them a day. Mine are fine to handle the morning after feed day.
