There is no minimum requirement. I don't handle mine very often (I have a lot of them though) and they are all docile, even with minimal handling.

I get mine out for 15 minutes daily and just let him hang out. Handle whenever you feel like it. lol

If you just got your bp, I reccomend you let it settle in for atleast a week without handling. After that 15mins a day is just fine give or take, handling isnt a requirement. Hope this helps.

Re: How often should I handle my juvenile ball python?
The problem is I have already handled her everyday since I got her Saturday evening. She seems to be doing great. I normally handle her at night when she wakes up. Should I start not handling her for the next week? Or should I continue handling her since I have been? It's just that I'm new to all of this!!! I appreciate everybody's advice and for helping me out.

I would still give her time to settle in. Get at least one meal in her before you start handling her regularly. Make sure you wait 48 hours after feeding before handling your new snake. :3
Congrats and welcome!

Re: How often should I handle my juvenile ball python?
Yea like the others have stated, there is no handling requirement. I have 2 snakes, and I handle them everyday, except after being fed for about 2 days, and when they're in the shedding stage. I don't handle my python as much as my Anaconda for the simple fact that my Annie was my first snake and she'll always be the most important girl in my life. Then next, my python is still a little flighty at times, if she gets spooked.
