Here is how it should work. Yesterday was Saturday. You fed your snake too soon. You should wait exactly one week to feed your snake. SO you should have and still should feed your snake next Saturday. IF he eats you can then handle him on the Monday following. IF he did not eat you are going to have to wait five more days. So that means try to feed him Thursday and if he eats, you can try to hold him that Saturday.

You should not handle your snake the day of feeding and the day after. So you feed him once a week every Saturday, you should not hold him Saturday and Sunday. On Monday you can hold him.
