    question for all that own 5+ snakes

    it might be dumb to ask but do you guys that own 5-10 or more bps handle every single 1 of your snakes other than to clean their enclosure just curious some of you guys seem to have alot of snakes. i love bps but i think 3-4 would be enough for me..

    I have 8 and I take them all out once or twice a week to familiarize them that my hand isn't food.

    Plus they like to venture into the sun ans grass on a warm day.


    I thought also a few would be enough...

    But the force is strong in these ones

    I have 6 snakes, 2.2 BP's, 1.0 Carpet Python, 0.1 Dumeril's Boa.

    I handle all of my snakes but not on a consistent basis. Pretty much if I feel like handling a snake I choose one at random to do so with.

    I try to check, spot clean, water and handle if not everyday every other day. if I notice my bps are going into shed or have eatten within 24hrs I wont hold but I still check them. My big 1600+gr male loves his neck and outside time. Seems to pout when I put him back in his tub after we handle him..

    Re: question for all that own 5+ snakes

    I have 16 and handle them as often as possible excluding breeding snakes but still handle them at least once a week. I look forward to having many more to handle ball pythons are like pringles can't have just one.
