If im not mistaking the genreal rule with handiling after feeding is 24-48 hours. i usually wait until the 48hours just to be safe.

Also just a little personal experince. I only have one ball python and I adore her. But....I wish i would have gone with a different species to begin with, a corn to quite honest. balls are kinda boring as far as "lets hang out" goes,IMO. im looking for a second snake now and honestly i dont even look at bps, for now that is.

Best of luck
