Re: Long enough
You're still typing so you're not dead or dying yet...LOL! This was already asked & answered...BEST advice is to wait until he has easily fed a couple times (& allowed to digest a few days) BEFORE you handle.
You are obviously hoping for a different answer...but you won't get one from me, sorry.
Think of it this way: when ppl bring a baby home from the hospital, they don't start trying to play ball, you know? All babies need time to grow a little stronger...and the good news is that snakes are MUCH
faster than human babies...but they STILL need some time to adjust & grow for best results....ok?
And ask yourself this: if you go ahead & don't take this advice...and he stops eating...are you experienced enough to persuade him to eat? I think not... Having a pet of any sort requires the maturity to do
the RIGHT thing...otherwise, stick with 'toys' that aren't living creatures.

Re: Long enough
I will add that I've been in your shoes, though it's been many years...and I can recall not knowing any better and sure enough, making things more difficult than they needed to be. I assume this is why you are here,
asking those of us with the experience to steer you clear of problems?
Also please remember that when you do start to handle this snake not to over-do it....hey, I still think snakes are irresistably cute, you have my sympathy...welcome to the club!

Re: Long enough
Short answer. Give him another week or so.
