Out of enclosure time

[BFT12890]

generally how long can a snake be left out of their enclosure for handling, cage cleaning, ect? my house is set at about 70-72 degrees, humidity im not sure. is there a recommended max length? right now since shes a baby i try no longer then 15 minutes.

thanks!

i usually just put mine back once they start getting flighty, or cold to the touch

Thats a good idea, I just had my girl out for about 15 minutes, and she started exploring and she kept trying to find warm spots, I.E. my armpit, under my covers of my bed, so i figured it was time to put her back. I just wasnt sure if there are actual health or stress issues having them out to long can cause.

Mine likes to ride my neck while i clean she'll just supervise and make sure i do a good job.

no, nothing major can happen unless their litterally out for a day or two, even then its not likely unless its super cold

Awesome! because im the kind of person that will have a pet out for hours at a time, but thats generally little furry ones that arent so crucial with heat and such lol.
