Re: how often do you hold your snakes?
I've been in a handling mood so it's 1 snake a day for anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours. I have 6 snakes so it rotates easily. If I I'm not doing anything on a Saturday or Sunday, I'll pull a couple out throughout the day.

I can't vote. I hold my guy probably 2-3 times a week.

I chose once a day because I attempt to hold them once a day when I can. That means not when digesting nor shedding. My corn snake has no problem with being out where as my ball python has no problem with me, other people he does not like so much. Personally, I think it all comes down to the snake's personality.

I didn't vote. None of the options applied to me.
I only handle my snakes when I clean their enclosures or to do a physical evaluation.
I'm not much of a recreational holder....

I'm the same way! I find that my BP gets restless quicker than my corn though. So he only comes out for 10-30 minutes, whereas the corn is varied from 20mins-2 hours sometimes.

how often do you hold your snakes?
I try to handle at least one once a week lol. Sometimes more. It's just a pain pulling some of them out. The ones I handle the most are the ones I worry about actually hurting someone. Example: my 11-1/2' yellow anaconda female. She's 30lbs, as thick as a 2 liter bottle and when she gets nippy it's like a great white shark thrashing violently side to side. She just tries to hit so often and so fast. Annie's don't strike like normal snakes either, no real sign, no coil, just a random hit.
So her, and my 8-1/2', and 7-1/2' female BCI's get handled the most.
My male yellow conda and hypo male BCI are my best believe it or not, they can stay out for 4-5hrs just peacefully chillaxing on me, as I walk around, watch TV, clean etc.
