    I do a few things that go against common thought.

    I handle eggs at least once a week and then daily as they get close to piping. I believe that this has the effect of getting my scent on the eggs.

    Once they pip I begin to touch them even before they are out of the egg.

    After they are out of the egg they are isolated from each other and are handled daily for the first week. After that I back off to probably bi-weekly.

    Keep in mind these handling sessions are very brief. Just enough to remind the snake I am not a threat and I am not food.

    After the babies have a couple meals in them most are sold. Ones that I am keeping and my adults are handled at least twice weekly.

    It may sound like a lot of work but it is really not. Once babies are eating I allow others in the house to handle them. My entire family is involved in the keeping so the upkeep is spread between 3 adults and 2 children.
