    How much handling is to much?
    I hold my BP almost every day, except while in shed and 24 hours after feeding. Is that too much? I have hears SO many people say that you should handle as often as possible to keep your snake friendly and tame and then I have heard people say that you should only handle them about 1-2 times a week because it stresses them out.

    What are your opinions?

    I also handle mine usually once a day and skip 48 hours after feeding. So I handle 5 days a week.

    In my opinion, the stress just might show if it's multiple times a day... and it also depends on the individual snake. If he stops eating, and all the husbandry is correct/same as usual, then you know you've really stressed them out. :rolleyes:

    Thanks for the reply! Since I rescued her and transitioned her to f/t rats she seem to never skip a meal. I never thought to look at it that way!
