I do the same as the prior two posters, only I usually keep him slithering hand to hand, letting him eventually sniff out whatever object he is making his way towards. He never speeds up or appears to get frustrated, just keeps slithering towards whatever thing he's interested in checking out.


The other animals in the house are not allowed to be in the room he is kept in, but I'll bring him out to the living room to handle him at times. So far they completely ignore him, and he shows little to no interest in them.
