After my corn eats a nice meal, he doesn't just relax and digest it.. he wonders around like its nothing... and i am sure about the proper quantity of food. i dunno, maybe he is just strange.

My snakes usually wonder around for about 10 min or so... then they settle down... Maybe your snake has alot of energy... who knows...
Yep mine go on the wander as well.

Maybe your snake is on the prowl for more food items. In the wild, they'll often come across more than one mouse at a time, after all. While still in feeding mode, a lot of corns will wander around looking for more food. When they don't find any, after awhile they'll settle down in a nice warm spot to digest.

That's pretty normal. Both of mine wander and then settle down. I think they work the food items down into their stomachs by stretching out and then settle in to digest them. Kinda like taking a walk after dinner. How big are they and how many of what food items do you feed them?

My corn always takes a bath after she feeds. She's a very clean snake. I have often wondered about this, even in the winter when the water is cold she always soaks before she goes in her hide. And yes, she always wonders around a little more after she eats. The only time she didn't is when I gave her a pretty big mouse and it took her a while to get it down. I think she knew she was full enough and didn't bother looking for more.
Mine do the same. I understand that they need a slightly higher temperature to digest properly, so I always assumed that they're scoping out the vivs for the spot with the best temp.
