I was just wondering when it's ok to handle your BP after it has ate. He ate last sunday, so it's been 5 days. I dont usually handle him to often, but he is going threw a bad shed and i wanted to try to get some the shed off.

thanks

It takes about 3-4 days for them to digest their meal (depending on what they eat, size and cage temps) but usually after the second or third day there is less risk of regurgitation.
