    Re: How often do you hold your BPs?
    i hold my girl for 20 minutes 2 x's per week but NOT
    when she's in shed,
    during the 2 days after a meal or
    on feeding day.
    so for example, she ate today so i wont touch her til sunday and then i'll handle her again on wednesday.
    i try to keep a somewhat consistant schedule but i know it'll have to change if she goes into shed or doesnt eat right on feeding day or just seems a bit more cranky that particular day. i allow for flexibility but still try to remain as consistant as possible so she's not having to constantly adjust to new routines and stuff.

    I try to get mine out every day when it's not around feeding day. Not terribly good at keeping track of how long they're out, usually depends on if they're agitated or if I have stuff to do. It's nice because they're very good with strangers and visitors :) It's an individual thing though, my female doesn't feel comfortable staying out for more than 30 minutes or so, but my little mojave boy could be out for hours xD

    1-2 times a week, waiting at least 2-3 days after feeding.
    Fortunately I have other snakes so I can distribute the handling so any one doesn't get stressed

    Except for two days after feeding, I have my girl out every day. She's never still and always trying to explore (she really wants to check out my floor and pouts 'cause I won't let her, haha) so it seems like she likes it. As soon as she starts trying to get under stuff I put her back in her tank though. If she's trying to hide then she probably wants to be home. :)

    I have a table right near a book shelf that is connected to my desk. I think she goes from one to the other at least 20 times then she will ether wrap around my leg if its up on the table or end up on my lap. I def think she enjoys being let out to roam and check out what is going on

    I hold them daily except the day after feeding....some like a couple days...most friends laugh when I tell them it depends on the snake .....We have 12 ball pythons and they are each individuals with a different personality....after you've had them whilr you know their likes and dislikes
    ...moods...etc....some are busy dome are quiet...nut they like to be held for a little bit at least every other day but I have one that will come out to socialize several times a day....keeps it fun!!!"
    Can't tell you how hard it is to leave them alone after feeding!!!

    All my bps are different so it depends in which one it is.I ha e one that is out everyday because I think she enjoys it and others a couple times a week and one that I try not to bother to much because he isn't a huge fan of it.I always have one out though lol!
