Hi, welcome to the forum.
It takes them a couple of days to digest their food, best to leave them alone during this time to avoid a possible regurge. |

| Hi Tomk - Welcome to the forum! Like BE says just let her digest and she should be a little more active after a few days. Could be she's due to shed as most will hide away if they are due to shed. |

heya and welcome to here 
like BE says avoid handling for 48 hours after a feed to allow the snake to digest it's meal. don't be alarmed it your snake doesn't cruise round it's viv, it probably does that while you're asleep! |

I leave mine at least 24hrs, and handle it fine.
48 for larger snakes I'd say. But as younger ones 24 is fine? |

| I'd stick to 2 days if possible as it can take this long to digest the food. |

when i only had Birch ans Spruce i used to leave them 24hours, since i got loads more snakes i leave them 48 hours - nothing lost by giving them an extra day, i have more snakes to handle/clean out now anyway. |

| Just go into the viv and get her in the middle of her body. If shes in a hide then lift it up, that'll soon wake her |
