Re: how often should i be handling? new to this. need help!
There really is no set amount of time for handling your Ball.
However there are a few restriction that should be kept in mind.
1. Don't handle your BP within 24 hours after feeding
2. When your BP is introduced to a new environment try to handle it minimally for two weeks (Leave one to two weeks to settle before first feeding attempt)
3. Try to avoid putting your snake into stressful situations, handling or not.
4. Never drop your BP, as this is the most devastating event possible for any snake. Be sure to have a gentle but secure handle on your BP while handling.
If you follow these guidelines, everything should be fine. It is suggested to start handling at a small amount of time and increasing increments if you like, but this is not necessary. As long as you do not stress out your snake or handle for an unreasonable amount of time, then everything should be fine.
Enjoy your BP
