I think this question has been asked before but I cant seem to find it so thought I would ask again.
How long do you have to wait to handle your snake after feeding?, I think I have read somewhere you have to wait 48h is that right or can you handle sooner :)
Thanks x |

I feed on a thursday and don't handle until either sunday late in the day or when they have pooped, which ever comes first really. |

i usually wait until they've pooped - no messy handling times then |

The other thing is make sure snake is some what active after dropping the kids off at the pool as this is a big clue their ready for play time.
Had to laugh at this!  |

I used to leave it 2 days, but when they both moved up a food size I felt they needed the extra day.I now tend to leave them 3 days to make sure they are out and about and been to the toilet  |

I tend to let them decide when it is playtime. Usually it takes 2 or 3 days for them to digest properly and become active again. I also give them time to poop before handling and so avoid messy disasters.  |

48 to 72 hours depending on size of prey etc
even when mine were hatchlings, I left them for 72 hours just to be in the safe side |

48hrs is the general rule, longer if there is still a notiible lump, I fed mine yesterday evening, and won't haldle them until tomorrow night, and not until the next day if they don't want to come out x |
