I feed Rufus every sunday morning and he poops every wednesday. He's very regular you might say.
As far as how often you should handle him and how long you should wait ....etc....... Every person is different and every snake is different.
Rufus is the sweetest snake I've ever raised, (and I've had many over the years). I handle him on Sunday mornings right before I feed him. I have to transfer him to his Feeding Container so I go ahead and play with him a bit. No problem. "He Knows" exactly what that feeding container is. As soon as I place him in it, he starts looking for the Mouse.
After I feed him, I have to get him back into his home. I pick him up and put him in his main cage. No problem.
So today is Monday, I fed him Yesterday morning. Some people will say wait 2 days before you touch him again. But he's wrapped around my arm right now. And no I did not yank him from his cage, I simply opened the door and crawled out on his own into my hands.
Handling your snake may differ. "They" will let you know what they like and dislike. Just pay attention to their behaviors.
