Hello all! I was searching for a great resource on Ball Pythons on the net, and I must say I have found it with this great website! I'm planning on purchasing a Ball Python in the near future and am trying to gather up all the information I can possibly get!


I was looking through the forum for information on handling, and didnt find entirely what I was looking for, so I have a question:

I know that I should not handle a BP for the first week and two days after it's aten, but what about on regular days? How long can I handle a BP and it be comfortable for the snake (assuming they're the average gentle ball python)? Does being away from the heat lamp for a certain amount of time have a bad effect on it? Any information on handling would be great!
