    ONLY when I see him roaming around and looking "social". Otherwise, I leave him be whenever he's inside his hides.

    A few times a week, unless he's in a bad mood.

    Cage cleaning. Sometimes I'll pull one out to appreciate it, but the days of handling a snake for hours on end are behind me.

    I handle almost daily, except when the snake is in shed or has recently eaten.

    Cage cleaning is the big one. Over the winter I didn't handle them as much since the house was fairly cool. Now that the weather has warmed up they get to come out a lot more.

    Re: how often do you hold your snakes?

    I hold my younger snakes at least three times a week for usually half hour to hour long periods. Anything older than two that knows me well I dial down to a twice a week minimum. This does not include any times I've moved them around for care or bathing, etc.

    I like to condition my snakes to be less frightened of people because I take them to a summer nature camp every year to teach kids about them. I'm glad to say the snakes have never tried to hurt a child and are super chill
