How is the best way to pick up my ball python after feeding?

0

I, myself, feed my ball python in a seperate tank as well. They say it’s best for confusion purposes. After he eats, I normally let him alone for about 15 minutes, to let his food get down, then transfer him back to his normal enclosure. I don’t slide my hand underneath him; I just pick him up like normal with my palm facing his back, one handed. I try to pick him up by the middle of his body, about where the food is by that time, so his weight is evenly distributed. And I agree with the other posters, that you shouldn’t handle them a good 48 hours until after they’ve eaten. But I believe you meant just for moving purposes. Happy feeding.
