Probably some people will say otherwise, but (imo) I prefer to leave my animals alone for at least two days (preferably a few more) after a feed. Especially if they are a reasonable size (say 12 months or more) as I've found they seem to rev right up on feeding days and a day or two after being fed, and if your going to get bitten and coiled (as food) that's the prime times. A few days after feeding most seem to calm down and relax again and are much more easily handled.
Unless there is some emergency etc, I would leave handling them for at least a few days after a feed. In my opinnion it does no good to stress them out by unecessary handling especially after feeding.
