Quick question
Sometimes I'll hold my ball python around my neck (normally under a hoodie)...sometimes she hangs out with me for more than an hour. I guess my question is, is there time limit or max time allowed to hold your snake out of the tank? I know it sounds like a weird questions but I don't exactly want to do anything to hinder her. I appreciate any and all feedback! Thanks guys
Happy Thanksgiving

I never heard of a time limit except when handling new hatchlings that may have strong fear/defense reactions to humans. You don't want to stress out your snake, so when they show flight response it is time to put them back!

Re: how often do you hold your snakes?
Your poll should have a "whenever I can" button. Lol. I like to hold mine mostly when hes out being active and my munchkin is napping. So not everyday but definitely multiple times a week.
I also like to get him out when Liams awake so I can let him pet and see him though.

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.
