Generally, it's a good idea to let your snake relax and not to handle him (her) for at least 48 hours after they've eaten. Just a guideline.....but that guideline has worked for me perfectly for years now. If you have to handle them, try to wait at least 24 hours; but of course if it's a safety issue then you need to handle it asap!

∙ 14y agoIt depends on the type and age of your snake. For small or young snakes, about once a week is good. For larger or older snakes, about every two weeks. Do not feed your snake if it has eaten within these requirements. Feeding to frequently will cause your snake to not eat and the food to either go bad, or if you feed live animals, bite you snake. Snakes can die from being bitten by rodents too many times.

What should you do if your snake vomited its last meal for the pet mouse?
There could be a number of reasons. The commonest is the vivarium is too cold to allow the snake's digestive system to work properly. Another reason could be handling the snake too soon after feeding - snakes often regurgitate a recently swallowed meal if they're disturbed. There could also be medical problems. As for what to do - leave the snake for a couple of weeks before offering more food. This will give its digestive system time to relax (it wont harm the snake to leave it that long). In the meantime - make sure the vivarium temperatures match the snake's natural range. If you're handling the snake - leave it at least four days after feeding - to allow it to digest the meal. It would be a good idea to ahve it checked out by a vet just in case there's something medically wrong.
