how often do you hold your snakes?

Usually 3 times a week for 10-15 minutes :

It's around two-three times a week. She can be out for an hour to a couple of hours. If she's had enough, she lets me know.

Been a while, honestly... not as much as I would like to. they have only been handled for very short lengths of time mainly for cleaning.. My normal is still really cool.. My lesser is a little sketchy haha but it won't take long to bring him around

Everyday besides feeding day and two days after. No holding during shed too. They are not snippy in shed but I still like to give them their space during the shedding process.

I want to hold her more, but I take her out at least a couple times a week. Feeding, changing water and cleaning mostly. I have to force myself to leave her alone, she's still new and getting used to her new digs.

I only handle Luna once a week for cage cleaning.

I usually I handle my 3 snakes at every day except after a feed or when they're in shed

really can't vote, because...none of the above...? I only hold my guys when I'm cleaning, or I just feel like it- which isn't all too often. Once a week at the most, but more like twice a month.

If they're eating well for me, all the time. If they're not, then I only take them out for weighing and cleaning.

I only keep them out for 10 or so minutes at a time, with the exception of my two very socialized normals that sometimes get extended handling time that sometimes involves them falling asleep in one's shirt. I've had my 1800g boy curl up and rest in the crook between my neck and my arm while I was laying on one side and reading a book.

I like to keep them socialized and calm around people. Only one of my snakes isn't eating, and he doesn't get handled. The rest happily eat whatever I give them.

Handling is the main reason I got into ball pythons after years with fish. They can be kept in their enclosure forever without a care in the world, and won't miss you when you're on vacation, but they can actually be held and pet unlike fish. They're pretty and have an awesome texture, and they're the perfect size where if they start moving quickly, they're long enough not to immediately fall out of your hands like a tiny baby lizard. I can play with them, but I don't have to.

10-15 minutes each a 2-3 times a week here.
