Steele -

Good questions. I would wait about 2-3 days so your snake can comfortably digest his meal! Handling too soon after meals can cause regurgatation. As for the stress issue, your snake will warn you if he/she sees you as a threat, give him/her some time but remain alpha in the situation, remember its just a baby and this is all new to him as well as yourself. The more handling you do the less threatned he or she becomes. Snakes learn to trust and you built it for them. Yes i belive you can over handle your snake you should keep a time limit on it, or they will for you!...ive heard many diffrent opinions about this but you'll get to know the personallity of your snake better as time goes on. hope it helped a little

I wait 2-3 days for Colubrids, but boas digest slower, so I give them 4-5 days before handling them.

BRB often feed every 4-5 days as neos. Its not necessary to give them 4-5 days after handling, 2 days is fine. There metabolism is not that slow ;)
