Handling

[chargethebeach34]

I am new to the reptile world but am really enjoying my pets got a beardie and a normal ball named Bella. I was just wondering how often I should handle her. Seems like every time I research the subject I get different answers.

Everyone has a different opinion on this. There is no right answer. It comes down to what is right for you and your snake.

It differs for me. If I'm not working so much I might handle mine every day for a little bit (except 48 hours after feeding) but if I'm having an off week and working a lot I might only handle them once for only a few minutes. Mine are very good with handling, even while shedding but I don't handle them during a shed unless absolutely necessary (like I need to move them to clean something). They have excellent temperaments. It just depends what is going on in my life

as long as your snake is happy and healthy handle as often as you want to, most BPs will enjoy being handled and being out of their cage just as much as you seem to enjoy handling her. Just make sure she isn't balling up or nervous and give them at least a day break after feeding you should be good to go

You could hold every day except 24-48 hours after feed and shed. Some are chill enough to be out for hours.

I personally don't believe they enjoy being handled, but moreso tolerate it.

As long as you let your Bp rest after eating (so it doesn't regurge), you could probably handle daily.

I have mine out for approximately half an hour per day. However, like others said it really depends on your snake. Delilah loves hanging out with me and exploring...she's very inquisitive. But they all have different personalities.
