Finished Digesting??
I have a question for you guys.
I fed my baby BP for the first time on Thursday in the afternoon. After I fed him he just sat in the corner of the tank curled up, shifted around a bit, but basically stayed in the same spot.
Today I can't see a noticable lump in his belly anymore and he's started moving around and exploring again. Does this mean he is done or mostly finished digesting his meal??
I've been so scared to disturb him in case I stressed him out and made him regurge...

As long as you give him at least two days to settle and he has his appropriate hot spot temps to digest he shouldn't regurge on you, unless there are other underlying health problems. He should be fine to handle today and ready to eat again in 5-7 days.

Thank-you very much!
Another question, do you count 5-7 days from when they are finished digesting their last meal or from the day you fed them?

You count it from when you last fed them.
