The story I heard about handling a snake after a feed was that if they got stressed they may regurgitate their feed.

Handling of snakes is stressful for them, you just have to watch their breathing to see that. Their breathing can become quite quick. Having said that their breathing can return to normal if they are held properly and not overly fondled, the phrase "make like a tree" is well circulated for a good reason.

I agree with Jungletrans about the cleaning out the enclosure thing, even if they have just had a big "dump" the secound there is virgin paper it will be spoilt once more!!
