Everyone keeps making jokes that my snake 'ran away' because I held her too much. Truth be told, I held her once or twice a week because I had a busy work schedule that just started slowing down. I hold my snakes until they start getting antsy. Sometimes it will only be 15 minutes and sometimes it'll be a few hours. My favorite thing to do is to let them sit in my lap while I relax and read or play on my phone. Time flies and I've had him out for 3 hours. He was just cruising around the bed checking out my pillows and miscellaneous stuff and then came back to me and would sit in my lap. I mean, I really don't see what harm it does but maybe I am wrong? I just really enjoy their presence especially when I'm down and they don't seem to mind. Is it true that I am over handling?

P.S. if I take him out and place him back in his cage he will just stare at me and pace until I take him back out. Also, if he is in his hide and knows I'm nearby, he will emerge to say hello.
