Leopard gecko handling: how long to wait after a meal?

Since you are new, the one that is not about timing: never hold her by the tail, and try not to grab from above either. They drop tails under stress and a hand coming down from overhead is what a bird looks like to something that small.

Scoop from underneath, sit on the floor so a jump is six inches rather than four feet, and keep the first sessions short. Mine dropped hers because I caught her as she bolted, and it grows back looking nothing like the original.
