I handle them all atleast twice a week not including the time I take them out for tub cleaning etc. As I said im relatively new to the hobby and the ones that are more tolerant of me do get handled a bit more than the others. I do take the extra time to work with the ones that are more aggressive towards me. I also realize that the younger snakes are more flighty and 75% of my collection are less than a year old. when I bought my 1.1 clutchmate pastels the female (the garbage disposal I spoke of earlier) has always been not scared not defensive, just wanting to check out everything where her brother the male was on the defensive side, we have worked well past that and he is nearly as nice as his sister now. I am a firm believer that if you want an animal to behave the way you want it to, you need to put in the time and effort to do so. Dogs are a great example!
