You could never hold your snake and they would be perfectly happy.

The tedious part is feeding.
If you feed frozen, you have to keep dead animals in the freezer, then thaw them every week.
If you feed live, you have to buy mice/rats every week.

So most of the time in caring for them is feeding time.

Once you set up the tank/enclosure and get the proper temps/humidity, caring for the snake does not take up a lot of time. Unless you have 8 (or more) like I do...
