How often do you guys handle your snakes?

Come on lets get a Big discussion on this Hahaa :)

I guess it depends! BP-wise, I'm a super-noob. Have had mine for exactly one day... :P
Corn snake-wise, pretty much daily (apart from 2 days after feeding) for 1-2 hours. It seems long, but I had a suggestion to do this from another very popular and experienced breeder from another forum. My corn was not handled much her first year of life -- person before me! -- and she was extremely defensive and bitey. Within one week of taking her out for extended periods of time, her personality completely changed and she's fabulous now (in comparison). She has only bitten once in the past 3 weeks, and that was because of an error I made.

I'll start slow with the BP babe, maybe a few minutes every other day. I'd like to eventually have him out on the daily as well!

Other than the 48 hours after eating, she gets handled every day! :D

I handle when I clean out the tubs, when I weight them and when I look them over to make sure they are healthy. Maybe twice a week, 5 minutes each... Tops... :)

I handle mine every expect after feeding 48 hrs had the baby ball for 3 weeks already ate 4 times hasnt missed a meal so i guess shes good ;)

Same as others, every day outside of 48 hrs after feeding...or if she is super blue.

Honestly, I handle whenever I want and that is excluding (what others mentioned already) after feeding, while shedding, pre-shedding, and when she hiss alot. My snake sometimes hiss which is basically saying she is comfortable where she is but after shes in my warm hand she goes "whatever" so. It all depends on owners I guess. 30 mins a day wouldnt hurt.

"Snakes don't bite. Just humans."

I handle my big sweet girl almost everyday :) she loves to come out and play and explore everything. I can handle her at any time when she's deep in shed or even after eating. She's always eager to come out to slither around and never has an attitude. She's always happy go lucky :)

:snake: every day :snake: except 48 hours after eating

Really no schedule, just whenever I feel like it, unless they just ate. But sometimes I'm just like mmmm i feel like holding the butter for a second, then I do. No set schedule really, just when I feel like it. :)
