It's always best to leave them for at least 48 hours after a feed IMO, I certainly wouldn't want to handle the next day as there's risk of a regurge, and regurge smells NASTY! And then you'd have to wait 10-14 days after the regurge to feed again to let the gut flora settle down. Basically, if it's still got a bump, handling is a big no-no for me!

corns are opportunistic feeders so they are always hungry, which means they are very easily overfed.

Mine comes out after a day for a mooch and a wander, even though there is still a slight visible lump in her. I always get the impression shes 'walking off dinner'.

Mine are always out and about. But maybe he needs to move up a size. If next weeks feed doesn't leave a lump in his body you could move up a size. My snakes do be out a few hours after feeding though so they're all different
