After a few more feedings and you see there are no issues, but don't handle it all the time and especially before two days after it eats so it can digest. Limit the handlings to maybe 15-20 minutes once a day or so. I'm sure Kathy addresses this in her book as well, even though I don't own that particular snake book.

If after holding it for a bit, and you notice that it is no longer sitting on your arm seemingly "enjoying" the body warmth (thermoregulating) and wanting to always crawl somewhere else in a hurry, that is definitely the time to put it back and let it be a snake.
