    Most of mine only get handled once every weekend for cage cleaning.

    Re: how often do you hold your snakes?

    Since when is it mandatory to handle my snake at least evey other day???



    Like once a week usually. Just to get her out to eat. Besides that probably less then once a week. I had her out today though. I have her on a tight feeding schedule though so shes digesting alot.

    Re: how often do you hold your snakes?

    I try to hold atleast a few times a week, if I can't do that maybe because she hasn't digested yet or something, I will put my hand in the tank on her, and I will pet her sort of, and she will slither up my hand and try to come out anyways lol.

    EDIT:
    Some of you that put everyday, i'm sure you don't hold your snake everyday, meaning the day after it eats? If so then you really shouldn't.

    i usually hold him for about 10 to 15 minutes and no i don't hold him 2 or 3 days after he eats and i also don't hold him when he sheds cause he gets a little nippy (there was no option for most days except digestion days)

    Re: how often do you hold your snakes?

    I handle my female at least a couple times a day; usually for about 20 minutes each time. Just letting her crawl over me, burrow, and hide, unrestrained. I'll probably slow down once she gets older, but since she's still a juvenile, it's good to let them get used to your smell and being handled early.

    Re: how often do you hold your snakes?

    Some snakes I handle each day, others I handle a few times a week, and some I barely handle but somehow they are still nice and sweet snakes.

    I try to hold mine atleast once a day, but sometimes every 2 days. Usually for awhile too, kinda just hang on while im doing things.
