I'm new to the snake world, I was just curious what everyone opinion on how long i should wait to handle my corn snakes after feeding them. I have two adults that eat one adult mouse each and two babies that eat one pinki each.
Thanks!
 
I would wait 3 days before handling post feeding. But it kind of depends on how big of a food item the snake took and wether the snake utilized its heating element. I would say a minimum is 48 hours.
 
It's been 24 hours, a little over actually. And All my snakes have been hidding since the feeding except one. Would it be safe to assume that the one thats been out and about is safe to hold?
 
I wait three days. Adults take longer to digest. Babies are out in 24-48 hours, but if a baby regurges, it's a way bigger deal.
