How do you think the snake gets back into her regular cage from the feeding cage? By bus? I handle all my snakes after they've been fed. How else do you think they get back in their proper cages? I've been doing this for over 40 yrs. & have never had a snake regurgitate it's meal because of being handled. Think people! I'm not saying to use your snake for a jump rope, but you certainly can handle them after they've eaten without fear of stressing them too much. Just be gentle & don't squeeze!

No, you should wait at least a few hours before handling it, and preferably a whole day. Snakes tend to be grouchy and sensitive to being touched while they're digesting their food, so it's best to leave them alone for a while before handling them again.

After You Ate A Big Meal Would You Want To Be Held?

no. never hold and snake after it has eaten for at least two or three days for digesting. if you hold it after it eats it will more than likely regurgitate its meal and you will have one mad, hungry snake

Definatly not emidiatly, it is best to wait around 48 hours, but 24 should be okay, if you hold it to soon it will regurjitate its food.
