Hi Matty we always leave Rosa at least 48 hours after feeding before we handle her again. We feed her Friday afternoon and then get her back out monday after school. Hope that helps, but i'm sure the others we let you know what they do.

Hmmm...i would wait till monday, but in the end its down to you. If you can stil see a lump then maybe not, but if he seems active then maybe...Wait for a second opinion, ive only had my snake for a few months lol
