Post meal handling?

What are the "rules" on handling/taking care of a baby corn after her pinkie meal?
Should I be watching for any warning signs?
When can I hold her again?
Does she digest the bones? Or "throw up" the bones like owls?
After she ate, she went to sleep into her cooler hiding place. Is she supposed to do that? Or is something wrong?
Thanks!
 
Well I've had RJ nearly 3 months and after feeding I let him go from the feeding tub into his tank by himself...then don't handle him for about 48hours, if there is still a bulge in his stomach I wouldn't handle him till he has digested.

Other people have different ways, thats mine.
 
I wait three full days, its abit of a judgment call after you've left at least 48 hours. A regurge is too much of a risk to me.

Corns don't throw up the bones, no no, they digest them.

As far as warning signs go, if you see a not poop looking, very, very smelly, pale-ish object, then thats a regurge, and thats bad news. But thats not very likely.

Finally, dont worry bout the snake not going to the warm side after its eaten, as long as you've set up the tank temperatures properly, let the snake be the judge of how it digests.
