How many times a day can I hold my BP?

I have a juvenile BP, and she is finally on a ball python sleep schedule (Sleeping in her hide all day and awake at night, she used to roam around all day and sleep at night :P) Anyways, I held her once today for around 15 minutes and she seemed very happy, no signs of stress, just very exploratory and interested in life out side her terrarium. Currently she's sleeping in a hide, and I really just want to say hello to her, and everyone says to keep handling to a minimum, but I really want to haha :D I handled her around noon, and currently its 7 pm. Are these times too close together to be handling her?

Every snake is different. After spending enough time with your snake you'll figure out what is too much. If you only handled her for fifteen minutes today, I wouldn't see why having her out again would be a problem. Just pay attention and if she seems stressed then put her back. I could pull out my female several times a day (if I had time) and she would be fine with it, but my make might start getting antsy and want to be left alone.

I have a cure for you. Just get two more bp's. Then you can spread out the handling sessions. Between the three of them.:)

Haha I wish :D I had to really pull my parents' leg to get one!

Honestly its your snake you can hold it as many times as you want, just look for signs of stress. The snake will let you know when she doesnt want to be held, like hissing, striking etc. IMO she rather be in her hide on her hotspot rather than being held, my snakes never leave hides unless hungry and if for some reason dont have a hide for them they hide under the paper towels. I personally handle my snakes once a week on cleaning days.
