I handle my snakes as often as possible including large female breeders that absolutely LOVE being out and about.
My males will fight me to stay out and be held, as will many of the females, and the babies will benefit from being held often after they are well established eaters.
Having a lot of snakes means they don't get a lot of handling time but I try to make sure they get out several times a week for at least a few minutes at a time.
I don't wait 24 or 48 hours to handle young snakes that are typically offered food two or three times a week.
If I had to wait 48 hours after a meal to hold snakes they'd never get held![]()
