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

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'.

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

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!
