    A minute here and there when I take them out for cleanings and weight checks, a few minutes if I'm taking pictures or the kids want to handle them. I notice no correlation between handling frequently and temperament. Some have always been more shy than others so I handle those ones as little as possible and try to respect that no snake "likes" being held but tolerates it. I do handle my burm more so he's used to it.

    I handle mine for a few minutes a few times a week. My girlfriend hangs with them more than me though. She will hold them while we are watching TV. Most of the time the female will sit calmly on her lap or chill in her hoodie pocket. She is much more comfy with the g/f. She lets her stroke the underside of her chin and will even set her head in her hands. If I try to do that she isn't having any of it. lol

    i don't handle my ball pythons for longer then 10- 15 min each but with multiple snakes i can get my snake time.

    I know what the OP meant and i could be wrong here but i thought since we read left to right that > 15 means greater than 15 min and < 2 hours is less than 2 hours.

    Yeah, I noticed after I posted it. It won't let me edit it though
