Me again...just fed Arthur which as usual he wolfed his pinkie down...I feed him out of his tank (i was adviced to so), I usually leave him for an hour before very gently putting him back in his tank. How long should you wait to do this, I ask because Ive read about reguritation problems if you disturb them after they've fed.

No need to leave a whole hour, just wait till pinkie is about half way down his body then gently put him back, giving lots of support to the buldge

I don't think there's any set time its more about knowing your snake. Personally I just wait till they look to have got there feed down and then pick them up and back into the vivs they go. My 2 are quite happy with this but some may not be.

I wait until the tails gone and then tip my feeding container against the viv and they go in themselves :)

I put my boys back in straight after they have eaten. I wait until it is halfway down their body then gently pick them up (supporting the bulge) and put them back in their faun/RUB. They don't seem to mind.
