Handling

[Vader6]

Ok I just want to know how long you guys handle your snakes at one time. Like if you take your snake at to play around with it how long do you keep it out. I have kept mine out as long as like 45 min. Idk if that's bad or not. But when I'm done with him ill put im back in his hot hide to warm him back up.

I dont have a time limit, it just depends on how bored i am or how much i want to play with them. your body heat should keep them heated well enough for the time that you have them out, and it is usually a good idea to put them back in the hot hide, especially during this time of the year

Yea I really don't have a limit either just wondering on average how long you take out your little guy/girl. I think i had Naga out like an hour or so today watched like the office and my name is earl with him on my wrist. lol

I spend a lot of time with Elizabeth however she loves being out. I keep our house at 77 just with the snakes in mind. Typically we would let it be a bit colder in here but not anymore since we have the snakes.

My bee will be out for about 30 minutes and then tends to pee on me. Its love!!!

Now my new baby I don't keep out for very long as she gets really stressed. She is only about 6 weeks...so we just work on her a little each day.

HAHAHA haven't had that happen to yet.....well never seen him pee before. But I have only had him 3 days.

On average, about 15-30minutes.

After owning my older BP for some time I can tell when she;s had enough and wants to go back into her enclosure.

That said, I know for a fact that my girl likes being taken out to roam around for a bit.

yeah i said 5-15 min.. just cuzz for a new snake you wouldnt' want to have them out over 15 min.. because it can stress them out... but besides that i don't really have a limit... my normal i can have out for a while!.. but my pastel who is my new girl.. will start getting pissy after 15 min..

It really just depends on their moods when i get them out. Or if they want to explore

i got mr. butters out right now. it depends on which of my snakes i have. i usually have him out for a while, but he pissed on my bed the other day so i havent taken him out for a couple days. my little girl hershey loves to be out. i usually wear a sweater with her and she sits in the poket with her head poking out to watch the world. big papa is a little crazy and cant sit still so i only keep him out for a little while or i lose track of him, and princess is kinda a witch with a capital B, she like to try and strangle me, but i love her for that

I typically try to allow my BP at least 30 minutes of "play time". I find that if I try to put her back in her cage too soon she gets very annoyed with me, and attempts to hold onto the side of the cage to work against me- she's kind of a big girl so this can get annoying lol.

If I have her out for close to an hour, she happily slithers back into her cage with no protesting.

Typically, I will only handle her if she starts coming out by her own free will once I take the top off her cage. She will often come out headed straight towards me as if to say, "pick me up!!" So cute
