How long do you wait to handle bp after feeding

[don15681]

I agree, another one of those rumors that noobies spread continually.
I handle hundreds of hatchlings and many large adults and I handle when I need to or want to and I have had one regurge 3 years ago from a female that wasn't held at all except to pull her out clean her tub and replace her.

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 ...

I also offer food twice a week. feeding this much you have to remove them from their tubs so you can keep the tubs clean.
