Personally I wait 4 days before holding any of mine but baby BCC tend to be a little touchier than BCI.

There are other factors like size of prey fed and your individual boa...is it calm or does it freak out the latter could cause a regurge.

I've had one regurge after 5-6 days after being handled. He did have a big meal. He didn't send the entire meal out. I doubt there is a definite answer to your question. Each boa will have their own digestive timeline.

I just love to unwind, smoke a cigar and hold my boa's. It's very relaxing to me. I'm trying to get my 08 motley male ready for breeding season, so i'm feeding him every week. and also my pastel hypo/suri.
