Feeding My First Corn (Cont.)

After your corn has eaten, when can you start handling him again without causing him problems such as regurging his food?

Thanks

Typically 48 hours is good to wait before handling your corn after he eats.

Depends on the snake. Many people say 24 to 48 hours and thats necessary for some snakes, but my snakes can be held whenever after they eat, but i usually give them 12 hours atleast so they can rest a little. Just know your snakes and you shoudl be fine.

Thanks for all of the good information. I think I will try feeding out of his cage and see how that works.

Thanks Again
