handling BPs
So I fed my new snake for the first time yesterday, is waiting until tomorrow long enough to let her digest before handling? How long do you guys usually wait?
I don't want to stress her out, but I'd like to start getting her used to being handled.

MINIMUM 48 hours after feeding. If it's had a big or frequent meal and still looks like it has a lump of food in it, wait a bit longer.

48 hours at a minimum. If you have to handle it for cleaning etc as long as you don't move it much you are ok.

Re: handling BPs
I usually wait 48 hours.
It also depends on the temperature of the warm side of the snake's enclosure; the warmer it is, the faster digestion happens.
Also, the size of meal is a consideration
