Hey, I just fed my 1st BP this afternoon, and I am JW if its ok to hold him. Its been about 5 HRS sense he fed, and he seems to be active in his cage!
Thanks,
Joe

leave him be for about 2 days.
let him digest the food, then handle him.
if you handle him 2 soon after feeding there could be a chance of him regurgitating his food which is bad.

Normally we wait until the snakes have pooped or around three days, whichever comes first. :)

five hours is NOT enough time!! the 2-day rule is a good rule of thumb. sometimes i make this 36 hours if it was a too-small prey item.
