    hey i was wondering i read a caresheet about 2 days ago after just holding reeses, and washing my hands of course,and it said to hold a ball python 2-3 times a week. if this is so i have only held reeses once this week so would it stress him to hold him today. also would taking some pics of him stress him out. thnx

    I try to handle all three of my bp's everyday for at least 20 mins at a time. I would definitely no handle them for at least 2 days after feeding to allow for proper digestion unless you need to get them out for cleaning or other special circumstances.
