I hear everything from "only handle your BP in an emergency" (what? a fire?!) to "I handle mine every day and he sits in my lap while we watch television." I do quite enjoy handling my snake as he is very tame and curious and friendly (see avatar), and I'd like to do so daily unless he's recently eaten, but I don't know how LONG it's okay to handle him. I mean, once he's hanging out with me he either relaxes (not balls) in my lap, gently wraps around my arm or climbs for a bit. Not much different than what he does in his tank, I guess. I don't want to bother the crap out of him but I do love being near him. If he's not showing signs of stress, is there a time limit?
