    Re: Handling

    My older ones I hold till my arms get tired usually around 45 mins to a hour. The young one that I haven't had long he gets 20 minutes or so every couple of days he is still in the reclusive stage and I don't want to stress him to much.

    Re: Handling

    I really wish I could answer this one but we have had our hatchling for a little over two weeks and he has only been out for a short handling session once. While on his week one settling in period, he ate for us on day 3; which we were, of course, very happy about. After he was here a week, hubby took him out and noticed he was starting to pink up for a shed. We fed him the next day and now that he's digested, we're hesitant to take him out again because he's in shed mode. It's starting to feel like I'll never get to hold him.

    Re: Handling

    i recently just got my snake. its been three weeks and i take her out almost everyday for about 15 mins. i leave her in her tank after feeding for 24-48 hrs. Since we r new to each other i handle her almost every day so we can get used to each other. shes very sweet and an explorer :-) hopefully ill be able to have her out longer after a while.

    ^^Yea I got mine last Saturday and haven't handled him everyday at least once or twice a day for 30 min at a time. He loves it. Always wants out. But once I feed him tom I won't touch him for a day.
