Actually, if you're an adult handling the snake (with no kids handling) it probably won't hurt a bit to cuddle him quietly for a while after he eats: BUT, make sure
that's REALLY what he's after...he may be looking for "dessert" & you could get bit if he's looking for more. And let me qualify: while it's best to let a snake digest
quietly for a day or two after they eat, if they are kept level or with head up (not down!), gentle handling on your lap shouldn't hurt anything. Assuming your snake
is one who has known you for a while also, one that won't be stressed just by the mere fact of being held.
