    How often do you handle your BP?

    On average, how many minutes per week is your snake handled/out of it's exclosure?

    If more than an hour please comment approximate amount of time.

    I guess I didn't take into account that many of you have more than one snake, and some have many. If you are one of these people, please just give me an average per snake, or vote based on just one or your favourite.

    I have 2.
    I take them out every day for at least an hour a day.
    In the summer, they go with me everywhere I go.

    When you take them everywhere with you, how are they transported? Just like around your neck, or in a travel container?

    Re: How often do you handle your BP?

    I only handle my BP's if it's really necessary. The longest time (about a few minutes) they are out of their own place is when I put them in some water before shedding.

    I have a semi decent collection so its a little hard to handle them alot. Plus I have my cats and my hedge hog so I have to spread the love around. So I would say its about 30-40 mins a week. Its about enough time to give them some attention, clean out their cage, check them out, and make any notes for next time about them.

    The reason why I quoted you Trinibee, because I like your collection. Lots of endless possibilities of combinations for the breeding season.
