i see this in my biggest carpet, the jag and the pastel ghost ball python. don't take them out for a while and they do it constantly til they get some out of the cage time. I never saw it as they like being handled, more as they like being out of the cage. my lesser used to do it also, but once he got laid he really doesn't do alot of the things he used to lol

i try to handle mine at least once a day for about an hour, but here latly not so much cause of the weather and my house staying around 72.

every day as long as they will tolerate it one never wants to be put down the other 20 to 30 mins

Except for during digestion time, my kids and I have been handling ours daily. When we put them back in their cages, they seem to not want to go back in as they will wrap themsleves around our hands as if they are trying to hold on to us.

I handle mine on a daily basis, except when he has fed, or he's going into a shed cycle. I'll let him explore, with supervision, or he's just my computer and tv buddy, curled up in my lap:)

I handle mine once a week, sometimes once every 2. I don't think snakes like being handled and sometimes it's not there choice. But I try not to stress them out.

I handle Leon 1-2 times a day.

Mine are out everyday for an hour sometimes. And sense it's summer, on hot days they go for walks sometimes with me.

I take mine out five days a week, for 45 mins to an hour each day. I don't mess with them for two days after feeding.

Every day. She usually wraps my neck, puts her head in my hair behind my ear and sits there like that for as long as I'll allow her. Being out doesn't seem to bother her.
