Re: How often should i handle my bp?
Well I handle both of mine (a baby and an adult) every day or every other day (unless they've just fed) even when they're in shed with no problems. And I think the more you handle them the more they accept it--my baby used to freak out if you held her, but now is not at all head shy or afraid to explore, and my adult I regularly allow young children to handle, and she's never given me any problems. It's really up to you--whatever you and the snake is comfortable with. When the baby starts acting stressed, put her up, but don't be afraid to hold her whenever you like as long as it isn't within 24 hours of feeding. ^-^

Ok awsome.I really love to hold him..and i was just afraid that if i hold him to long..he'll get all stressed out or somthing.I want other people to hold him too..but i dont know how he'll act.I dont want him to bite them...though hes more shy..then aggressive...so i donno. Maybe i should wait awhile before other people can hold him.

I try to limit my handlings to NO LONGER than 30 to 40 minutes a day. Handling is for our pleasure, not theirs.

if they start moving around like they are exploring, and trying to get away from you thats usually means they are stressed.
