    Handling

    How often can you actually handle a BP? I know when you get a new one you're supposed to let it settle down for 2 weeks. After that I assume starting short handling session (daily?) for 5 minutes? For how long? When they're adults can you handle them daily for like 1 hr?

    Re: Handling

    Ready for this? It depends!

    Only you will know how handling effects your snake. If you start handling more often and they become more and more finicky, then handle less. I'm not just talking about finicky while they're out - I mean in general - missed meals, etc. If they aren't impacted in the slightest by your together time, nothing says you can't have more of it.
