I Have A Question.....

How often do you guys/girls take your snakes out of there cages? I dont know if there is a certain amount of time that they should be out and handled or if they should stay in the cage alot. I always feel bad cuz shes moving around inside her cage so i take her out. She loves being out, When i try to put her back in she always trys to get out before i close the lid. So anyways should i leave her in more or is taking her out alot perfectly fine?

I believe this was just talked about a few days ago. I'll try and find the thread for ya...

[Kesslers Kreatures]

Oh... thanks. ya shes very active and like to snoop around the house and she likes to lay with me so i just feel bad leaving her locked up all day haha

[lillyorchid]

Okay so this isn't eactly what you asked for, but people do say how long they have their snakes out...

Also I take my guys out atleast 3 times a week, if not more.

[Kesslers Kreatures]

Thanks, Ya Like i never know how long or if si should take her out ya know? I mean I get the vib. that she likes it. I mean she usually lays with me and kinda cuddles up with me on the couch while i watch tv... usually after an hour she wakes up and she will start to roam around the house... with me watching her every move though.

What do you guys think about taking her ourside, Well when its warm. Its been pretty cold lately.

Perfectly fine, unless it's the day after feeding. I take mine out for about 10-15 min. at a time at least once a week, sometimes more. I get that same behavior, the ball python and boa never want to go back in their enclosures.

[Kesslers Kreatures]

Ok cool, so realistically i shouldnt have her out for a long period of time even if she seems to like it?

[MontyNSpike]

I've never had a problem with them being out for too long, usually I let them roam around so I have a close eye on them and only handle them about half the time that they are out. I only take one out at a time and always wash my hands between handlings.

[Kesslers Kreatures]

Hmm sounds good, That workls cuz half the time she lays with me then she starts to roam and i just watch her, I only grab her when she tried to go somewhere she is not supposed to haha

[MontyNSpike]

Hahaha, yeah, typical of ball pythons they are mischievous like a small child
