How soon after a regurgitation can I handle my snake?

[DVirginiana]

I'm sorry, but I still just don't understand. I'm not trying to be annoying or anything, but why couldn't I handle him after, say 5 days? I just don't see any harm in it. Of course I wouldn't handle a few days before feeding and a few days after. But he's not going to be eating for a while, so why couldn't I?

Because it still stresses them out. Think of it kind of like a human driving; it's not very stressful (more stressful for some than others), but you are being jostled around and having to be very alert. Normally it's not a problem, but imagine you're just getting over a terrible stomach flu-- then driving around might make you sick.
