How long after my baby boa eats should I wait to handle her,
I fed her Saturday night and she did not like being handled now

Thanks

with small meals 48 hours is generally enough, once your boa moves up to rats and rabbits that becomes longer, I usually give my big snakes at least a week after a rabbit

i'd give a little more time then 48 hours, just to be safe... Boa puke is not nice.

In general with Boa's wait 48 hour's. But really it's going to depend on the snake it's self. Some you can handle as soon as 24 hour's after feeding but again it depend's on the snake.

good advice as usual folks
Thanks

quick reset, I assumed your speaking on Bci, If you meant Bcc I suggest 72+ hrs for younger than yearling

My female is happy with a 24 hour waiting period after she has eaten. She is on large adult rats, and has never been sick or agitated from handling too soon. Maybe she is just a little tougher than normal.
