How long to digest?

We have a 2002 anery (we've had him about 2 months) who is about 18 inches long and was up to eating 3 f/t pinkies per feeding, so we tried a f/t fuzzie on Saturday. He got it down after constricting it, trying it from the head, the tail and then finally the head and a great deal of effort. Now it is Tuesday and he hasn't had a regurge, which is good. But despite being on his warm side almost constantly since Saturday's feeding (the thermostat keeps the warm side between 85 to 90 degrees) the fuzzie bulge in his belly is still pretty large, maybe. I realize that fuzzie's take longer to digest, but how much longer.

It depends. The buldge is probably almost 100% gone today I would think. But don't worry. If he was eatin 3 pinks, he will have no problems from here on out eating fuzzies. He would have regurged already. :D

Okay, thanks. I'm assuming that it'll be okay to handle him if we can coax him out this evening. I worry:) I'm a mom.
