Its all in how often you want to of course other than first 48 hours aftrr feeding also I don't bother them much the day before feeding unless I need to. So that'd leave 4 days and I don't handle any one snake more than every other day so for me its 2 days a week for short periods. Just remember whether you think so or not the snake doesn't "enjoy" handling like you do. So if you want to handle everyday then id be sure to have a few snakes to choose from. Too much handling can become stressful for the snake.
