How long do you handle your snake for?

Funny you should ask. I've been TERRIFIED of snakes all my life. I would even refuse to touch my gf's corn snake. A few nights ago I held our BP. It was the first time holding her since we got her 2 months ago but also the first time ever holding a snake. She started exploring which made me nervous and start heating up which probably made her want to move around more! I got in about 1 min of holding but i think I'll hold her for longer next time. Probably the only "1 minute" response ha ha.

Maybe 10 mins tops depends on the animal. I have a few real shy ones that I really dont mess with to much other than to clean there tub.

You have to start somewhere, good job! Before you know it you will be head over heals. Bps are way more fun to handle than Corns, IMO.

Thanks! I'm already excited to hold her again tomorrow. She took another mouse on Monday (thank god last week wasn't a fluke) so gotta wait. The corn snake is way too all over the place for me. Its super skinny compared to the BP, but im just not too into the whole "slithering" thing.
