How often do you handle your Ball Python? (additional poll<3)

***alittleFREE*** · 09-04-2018, 10:39 PM

Usually a few times per week for about 15-30 minutes each time, depending on how she reacts. Sometimes she finds a comfy spot and hangs out with me while I look at my phone or whatever and those days I keep her out longer. Some days she's more restless/rowdy and those days I usually put her back sooner.

It depends on my work load...if I’m wiped out when I get home, I may not handle any of my snakes just for fun. That said, I try to handle everyone once a week or so, sometimes every other week, for 20-30 minutes each. My adult redtail generally prefers I leave her alone, but she’s ok with short periodic visits. Even if I don’t make specific play time, everyone gets handled for a bit as I clean cages. Snake goes in tub, cage gets cleaned, play time, repeat with next snake.

Any time after defecation and before feeding, so, usually 1-2 days a week. I only have two snakes so it's easy to make plenty of one-on-one time.

Feel free to talk under this post<3

2 or 3 times a week 20-30 minutes at a time.. which this includes feeding day but only a short period that day. I know many say you shouldn’t on feeding day but as far all has been good..

Mine all get handled several times a week for at least 10 min at a time. Some for an hour or more.

Probably not as much as I should, but I try to do it once a week. I don't handle her so much as let her out to explore the room.

Only have the one so I handle daily now that she is rather comfortable usually for about 15min but the time can vary.
