    Re: For those of you with multiple snakes...

    I generally handle them only for cleaning, my raise up female carpets I try to handle enough to make taking eggs easier, otherwise that's about it. I do try to do an inspection type handling a couple times a week. Let's me know if the girls are building, check for mites, and RIs, but as far as like sitting there holding one while watching tv? Not so much anymore.

    I try to rotate mine. Some days I handle 1, others I handle 1-4. Depends on the snake, the snake's mood, my mood, and what I'm doing.

    I handle my snakes whenever I feel like it. I also handle them on cleaning days. Typically each snake is handled at least once a week.
    Why keep a snake? Why keep any animal? Because you enjoy the animal, find something beautiful and fascinating about it, and it fits seamlessly into your lifestyle.
