    Re: How long do you wait to handle bp after feeding

    There is nothing that a little bit of handling will hurt.
    Please everyone do what you feel is appropriate, but spreading false rumors is so old school it gets tiring.
    They do enjoy their hot spots after eating so most do not get held after eating but if I need to clean I don't hesitate to handle them and if I just want to hold them for 10 minutes, I hold them.

    Many of my snakes eat more than one meal a week, if I went by the 48 hour "false rule" I'd rarely ever get to hold them ...
    One of my girls regurged 4 days after feeding. Her husbandry was fine though. She is checked twice everyday so the only thing I could think of was handling too soon after feeding. So I blamed myself for handling her so soon I can't think of any other reason for her regurge besides husbandry or handling.

    Didn't mean to spread any rumors. I'm a worry wart!!!!
