    To Hold or Not to Hold?
    I have a two year old BP that's been off her food for two months. She likes to be held, but I thought I should leave her alone until she eats. She seems very anxious to get out when I open her cage. Should I give in & hold her, or should I continue to leave her alone until she eats? With my others, I wouldn't hesitate to leave them alone, but she's always liked to held & petted.

    I don't think it will matter any...I would probably leave her alone the days you are trying to feed her though.

    Once or twice a week shouldn't do any harm :). Enjoy your snake I say. You know your snake better than any of us as well so if you feel it won't stress her out then go for it!

    If she is normally a very mellow snake, I would go ahead and hold her. Maybe skip the day before and the day you are going to feed.
