Just wondering how long everyone leaves after feeding before handling? Is two days enough? Thats what I usually wait with my corn snakes...
Thanks, Emmy

Two *should* be fine, but I always shoot for three, just to be safe.

I usually wait until the snake shows me that it's comfortable enough to get active again on it's own, but I exercise the bigger meals with less frequency thing to more closely simulate natural conditions. If you're feeding small items, I suppose shorter wait times are safe, but even then I tend to wait 4-5 days or so, but hey, that's just me
